The walls of his heart weren't there in the beginning

They're made of scars and pain

I caused some yet he forgives me

This boy-this man with his heart so wonderful

He forgives and forgets, only to get hurt again

An endless cycle

Will it ever stop?

I hate to hear of his cries

Of the pain burning in his soul

He can light up a room with a joke or simple smile

The way he cares and loves without conditions makes me wonder what's wrong with the rest of us

What make this man, broken and barely held together by love, so alive?

The rest of us skirt by with so little emotion

He cares with his entire being

He holds he's friends closer than his heart

The world should know of him

Praise him

Show him he is perfect the way he is

Insecurities are alright

That people can want and not be selfish

They've poisoned his mind

Implanted such wrong ideas

Will he ever see what I see?

See that he is beautiful inside

See that I am lucky to call him friend

How can the man that saves me from breaking be so close to breaking himself?

This old soul trapped in the youth of his body

Will he see?

See how much I care

See how much he means to me

See how I would cry if he left

I don't want him to ever leave

I want to fix his tears

Mend his scars

Show him someone cares

I want to be to him as he is to me

The pillar of stone to gain strength from

His pillow to cry on

The light of his day

I just want to be everything he needs of me

I want to show him I care

That he is wanted and needed

This beautiful man

The childish boy

This old soul

The young heart
