The boys who matter

There was a boy
who kept you laughing;
a boy who shared your firsts.
then you met a boy
who just seemed perfect.
the boy to bring home to dad.
but you'll never forget
the boy who fell for you
exactly when you fell for him.
he was the boy, the only boy
who cared when you left.
it was beautiful,
but you ran scared.
scared to be secure
scared to be mature.
you just hope each day
that he will realize
you're never going to look for
any other boy, but him.
