TO THE ROMANTIC

I know not what you seek,

A deeper meaning to life?

Or just a glimmer of beauty,

Even in the deepest strife?

Where you see a smile, I, a smirk,

You, a longing gaze, I, a glance,

You, a God, I, nature's dice,

You, destiny, I, mere chance.

Your eyes play out your dreams,

In everything you see,

I hoard mine more greedily,

Where they're only for me.

I could be more like you,

And see in hues more bright,

But here's a thought for you-

Who dreams better at night?
