Even though you'll never love me
I spend every day
waiting and dreaming
lost in my own starlit universe
remembering each word you've ever spoken
and hearing you laugh reverbate through my soul
and loving you with all of my broken heart

I want you to know this
because at night
when the monsters come
for even the best of us
know that I love you 
and that love will protect you from
the solitude of teenage angst
and the frusteration
with a world that cannot be fixed
is a mere second of time
in an eternity.
And that love can defeat the monsters.
