Cosmic dust

I love you the most

Because you don't give me a false sense of hope

That I am somehow worth noticing

In a room occupied by you


In a crowd,

You stand out like a queen

And I,

A few steps behind

Always a few steps behind


People notice you

Because like the sun

You outshine the rest

All the other stars, all the other planets

And I am nothing but

Cosmic dust


But there is no envy, only relief

You do not give me a false sense of hope

That just this once

Someone will notice me

Someone will choose me

And for that

I love you the most
