The Sun and The Moon

I'm not always selfish.

I don't always put myself first.

I don't always try to keep everything for myself.

I can be selfless too.

Though it is true that I am greedy at times,

But when it comes to the people I care about,

I forget my own desires,

And try my best to provide.

And it may sound cliché and overused,

But I say their happiness is enough for me.

Even if I have to give when I myself do not have much, I will.

For them, I will.

And even if they may not care for me,

Like the way I care for them,

It matters not.

Just being of help to them will suffice.

It doesn't even matter

If they come to me in times of dire need,

Because it could have been none at all,

I am glad enough to be their Moon during the blackest of nights.

And if to say, they love someone else, someone that is their Sun.

I will not stand in their way.

I will be happy for them,

And continue to light their nights when the Sun is not around.

You might call me foolish, or a martyr even,

But the truth is, I'd rather see them happy,

Even if it means I must give up what I long for.

I am willing to make this sacrifice.
