Johnny & June Poem by Dean Meredith

I wanted her to be my June
But she just wanted to be herself
And that was fine by me
Because at her best
That was about the nicest thing I'd seen
I was going to say known but
I don't think I ever really knew her
As I should have
She gave me glimpses
And that was enough to adore her
Maybe it was for the better
That I didn't see too many sides of her
It could have spoiled everything
And some might say it did
But for me to still love her
I'd say not
I wanted to be her Johnny
When I should have just been me
Always overly ambitious
And never feeling good enough
That was me
Kind of nice
When I think about it
