A voice like church bells ringing
Warm as the setting sun
And twice as comforting

Laughter like a spell
That demands a smile
Even when I feel like hell

Kindness of a heart ever bleeding
Even in dreams
She hastens my hearts very beating

I wonder if she knows
She positively glows
At least to me
I dont remember what i was doing
But i remember how you looked
Before you decided on going

Short but sturdy, stepping with pride
Eyes filled with the sadness
Your bright smile couldnt quite hide

I dont remember all you told me
But i remember why you said it
Oh how we were laughing

You didnt think we'd miss you
We'll always remember
Every day we do
When I met you by accident
I thought rather little
Of that singular queer event
Gifted by fate so fickle;
Or what it could be

I gave no second thought
When you asked me to follow
I thought where I was brought
Mattered not for someone as hollow;
As someone like me

When the first pang of the heart flowered
I would agonize over the secret for hours
It had almost left my soul devored
By the fear of friendships soured;
Had my heart been set free

When it first felt you could really see me
Even amidst the uncertainty, and pain
It filled me with an uncontrollable glee
To lay my heart to you, plain;
Furthered by your acceptance of me

I cant erase your pain
But if i can be of comfort
After all of this heavy rain
Then I will give every effort;
Because your laugh, it gives me life, see?

How many miles
Must one roam
To find a place
That feels like home;
What does it need
Lest it decay
And leave me to wander
Yet again;
If there is such place
Where I feel free
I really just hope
That you're there with me

— The End —
