i know a few slightly beautiful people, yaknow

She walks in the room with immediate light
But she's not always happy, as odd as that sounds
It can seem as if everything in her life is right
After all, she's always loving, smiling, allowing
But no one is without struggles
She has her own
But she's strong and I hope
I can let her know

Her name means more than she will ever know
Because she's talented at giving me room to grow
And I'm hard to put up with,
And she's been through a lot
But she's genuine and supportive despite that she's caught
In a web she can't escape
There's hurts I can't heal
Does she know that that kills me?
That I care as much as she does?

I know a girl who knows a guy
I see them constantly idealized
But gosh, they're in the same boat as us
They just don't tend to open up about it as much--
They shouldn't have to

She's lovely and it's strange that she still doesn't see
She's in a cage but she has the key
Give her something to believe in, something concrete
I see her sinking and she doesn't like to "burden" me

Hurry up and catch her
Before she snags a new day
She's destined for greatness
Please don't get in the way
I know you're not present
And she doesn't need to cry
Because someday I know
She will catch someone's eye
She's beautiful,
Tell her that for me
Because I've failed at this friendship
And I miss her, really

I can tell when he's sad, when something's not right
He has this aura of something I can't quite describe
And I don't know why I care so much 
That he finds love
But I know he's more than most care to see
And I also know he means a lot to me
