Once upon a time there was this amazing boy
he was as sweet and kind and funny as one could imagine
he was surrounded by people who love him
though he traveled through the days like a shadow
he was but did not truly live
for he had nothing to live for
everything he had ever cared about
had been taken from him
until one day
when a girl appeared in the shadows of his life
wiping away his tears
and taking him by the hand
guiding his way
giving him something to live for
though she was only an angel
and was gone as quickly as she came
she would forever live on
in his mind, heart, and soul
for she had become part of him
and forever would live on
in him
this boy - the same as before -
didn't realize how much his friends cared
he felt so alone in this world where he lived
he had friends that surrounded him
but they were just objects to him
taking up space for he felt they didn't have real feeling
but one girl sat and watched as he went through life
day after day walking through these statues
her heart went out to him
wanting to reach out and grab his hand
and show him the truth
but she was scared
because she wasn't sure if he would allow it
for he was so guarded
but she cared for him so much
for he was a friend
and she didn't know what she would do
if anything happened to him
one day she threw her fears and worries in the garbage
and ran up - a moving statue - giving him a huge hug
opening his eyes to the world
and his ears to the little voice that whispered "i really do care"
the embrace was long
though silence followed the whisper
but that was all that was needed
for she cared more than any had
the embrace would last forever
though the arms would not forever wrap around him
this sweet boy was loved more than he had ever known
and now he finally saw it
in this girl who stood next to him clasping his hand
for ever more
