The Grown Up Boy

The Grown Up Boy

The grown up boy

With the sadness in his eyes

You see his pain

Even through his smiles

The scars fade

But the memories remain

How you wish

You could save him

Take his hand

And show him the truth

His love runs so deep

It scars his soul

So much conflict

Riddled with confusion

Your words make him wince

Your touch makes him flinch

The grown up boy

Trying to find his way in the world

It won’t be long now

He will look up at the moon

He will find comfort there

Just as you do

A mutual bond

Never abandoned

The dependent love

Between two friends
