The Relationship Which Never Ends

Day by day, we grow closer.
Love between us shall never waver.
Within thy presence I feel comfort.
But lost not for this is without effort.

In thy shadow I shall be,
Steal not twine limelight I will,
Only the stars in my dreams I shall be,
For never can I outshine thee.

Jealousy soon begins to grow.
For longer the distance between us grows.
Never will I sink that low.
To thy to ever rule the show.

Around us the commoners are.
But yet still we look like we’re from afar.
Similar to them we are not,
Closer to each other definitely not.

Forever in the shadow I shall be.
Faithful I shall be to thee.
Helping thee through every tunnel.
Hiding my emotions I will do.

Friendship still lasts forever more,
For love for thee is always strong.
Jealousy shall not waver my heart,
Love you as much since the start.


Epilogue:

The poem was inspired by the picture posted above; at first glance the focus of the picture would be on the main yellow flower. However when I took a second look I noticed that there was another one behind it. The poem describes the “relationship” of the two flowers. One flower is in the limelight while the other is in the shadow. This provoked my thought and made me realise how similar nature and man are, for a relationship to work there must always be one who is willing to be self sacrificial so that it can grow. The flowers are also surrounded by leaves (commoners) and despite large quantity; they still cannot hide or blend in. Thus they become something like roses among the thorns which is often applicable to us as often in life despite us trying to fit in we are all unique in a certain way and will shine and stand out no matter what.
