Once I knew a boy who was perfect
You see
He even knew how perfect together we’d be
But he couldn’t detach from his fears
Which immediately showed his years
Of sorrow and sadness
He lashed out in madness
And retreated to the big mess between his ears
I’m hoping to see him again
One day when he doesn’t pretend
That he isn’t me and I am not he
And together we both shouldn’t be
Maybe time will allow him to slow
And maybe together we’ll grow
But for now in this moment I have to be me
I have to realize what it is I can be
And that boy that I knew will grow up
Wait and see
I’m sure he’ll come back eventually
