I sit and dream
Of that boy who sat behind me
His smile was infectious
And he was always a mischievious lad
He could easily make me laugh
Over the years we grew up together in the same school
He is still somewhat of a rebel
Only I did not know the true extent
You could say I was suprised to find all that was doing
Confronting him that day
Ugh it makes me want to cry
He showed we the scars that his father gave him
He said this was the reason
The only reason why he drank
I remember touching those scars
Those ugly scars that were etched into his skin
He smiled weakly..
As my pained eyes looked into his.
He said
No one knows but you
You will be the only one that will ever know he said
Crying he embraces me in a hug
And whispers
I love you in my ear.
With my own arms I gently comfort him
I did not have to dig deep to answer him
For after all these years I had steadily fallen for him as well
I love you to
I whispered my answer
And by the lake at sunset
We had our first kiss
We are still together
And I can still see the love he has for me in his eyes
But I often think
How could a parent be so cruel
He left his home and he smiles as though he were a child again
Free and happy
Its the same for me knowing he is happier
That and the fact that he is by my side
Nothing will separate us.
For even now as we take each others hands neither one of us will ever let go.
