Stand By Me Poem by Fareez Phalez

I'm not Romeo, but you are my Juliet
I don't need a queen, but you make me a king
I'm not a star, but you make me shine
I'm not an angel, but you give me wings

I'm not perfect, but you said I'm satisfaction
I'm not the best, but you want to make me better
I'm not confident, but you became my courage
I'm not a romantic, but we write love letters

I'm not used to this, but you said we got a lifetime
I'm not promising, but you hold on to me
There's just so much I fall short of
But despite all these, you stand by me
