Intent on handling things alone,
he shut his heart away.
A charming boy, a beautiful boy,
who was difficult to sway.
He’s your typical deep-thinker,
with a world no one could see,
a world no one knew existed
until he showed it to me.
It was full of crushed-down hope
by the ones that he most loved;
it was full of pent-up dreams
that told him life was tough.
I saw this world within this boy,
saw it dancing behind his eyes.
He had a fragile, broken heart
that I could not deny.
So I took his hand to help him up,
help him reach his goal.
I showed him all that he could be,
and he was wonderful.
