Build this structure block by block
He was intriguing, infinitely appealing,
Building his way to the quiet peace of the top.
Build this city block by block
He was outspokenly subdued, a mystery to grip to
A tower, a steady force, a rock.
Build this utopia block by block
He was terrific, immaculately deific,
Captivating in the only way humans are not.
Build this Elysium block by block
Oh, I think you know him not, I think you may be all talk,
These palace gates will ever remain locked.
Build this friendship block by block
Oh, I think I know him not, oh I know I can't run nor walk,
But I am certain I want to be caught.
That one decision could inspire hope,
I never thought, I never knew; I hadn't the slightest clue,
This is what saved me; how I cope.
I'll build this life block by block
Thank you, I was on the edge, I was through,
Block by simple block until time finally stops.
I'd like to say I don't know what inspired this as the people in mind aren't going to see this ever (provided I get my way); however, I do, therefore:
Thank you so much for all you've done without even realizing you did anything at all. This is why I'll get the chance to turn eighteen.
