The Boy

A warm smile and glowing eyes

Your positive energy took me by surprise

Words filled with meaning ever so bright

But you're no open book, not quite.


Secrets are kept in with reason

I happen to be the one who sees them

I do not tell, I learned to respect

but your hidden words I won't forget


Months pass by and you see my vulnerability

A thing that I've never allowed anyone else to see

I am no longer afraid of what makes me weak

Instead, it is life, not death, that I seek.


We share a common thing, you and I

One secret but from opposite sides

For some, it comes so easily

But it has not for you and me


I love this boy but not romantically

I am alive because of only he

We share our fear and our mysteriousness 

I think that's why I like him best


The sun rises earlier day by day

School ends soon and I am afraid

That I will lose my chance to say

He's the reason I'm alive today.
