I teased him and made fun of him,
I loved how he was this way,
It was so him,
How he got attention in class,
Blurted stuff out,
Fidgeted and squirmed,
Saying the funniest jokes and
He made me smile,
I wondered and I pondered
Why he acted this way,
But at the end,
He made me fall in love,
That's how we got to know each other,
And know everything,
At least I THOUGHT I did...
Until I knew something ELSE about him,
I've been wondering why he took medications when we went to the band trip,
I've been wondering...
Then yesterday I was talking to his best friend Ryan,
And asked how their Boy Scout trip was,
Ryan told me that since my love forgot to take his medications for three days,
He got sick and got out of hand,
Got me worried of what happened,
Why did he had to be that way,
The reason was because he had ADHD,
"Attentive deficit hyperactive disorder,"
His genius friend Ryan explained to me,
My mind was confused,
My heart was jumbling,
New vocabularies and symptoms I got to memorize,
It was all new,
And I got an idea of how he got through his life,
And I got the answers of the strange reasons
Why he was forced a strict schedule to go to sleep at nine,
Why he forget stuff so much
Why he’s always the attention of the class
All of this doesn’t mean that it’s bad,
He could’ve been a quiet smarty-pants,
But I like him just the way he is,
The high-energy dude who likes me too,
I hope it stays that way,
I really do,
And I want to be there for him when he needs help to get through
