Hello there friend, we finally see each other again.
You look a lot like the boy I use to know the boy I grew up with.
Yet, here we are reunited and it doesn't quite feel like it.
Is it really you?
The little boy that befriended me and defended me
The little boy that taught me how to catch crickets and roaches
Is it really you?
That smile that use to brighten my day, now gets my heart flustered.
That great burst of laughter, now a low sultry chuckle.
Is it really you?
You were the one I ran to when I no longer knew how to think
You were the one I ran to when he took my voice and I could no longer speak
Is it really you?
Now, when I'm around you I can hardly breathe
Now, when I'm near you at times I feel light headed and dizzy
If I can't be me when you're around what can I do?
If I can't be me when you're around who can I go to, to figure it all out?
