I see you everyday But, oh, the fullness of your soul After all the hardships That have made you more whole...
You're a marvel to me, In all your sweet sincerity. Each moment to you seems Like another opportunity.
Through something more profound Than simple conversation, We've lived our own lives And developed a connection.
I look to you for strength Just a touch or a smile And in our parallel worlds Everything's right for a while.
You believe in what you do And so do I. I didn't realize until now How much you really try.
I admire and respect you Just seeing the way you exist Fills me up with joy Just to know you.
I've decided to write odes to people who've influenced me. This is one hell of a guy from my high school. (Note: I don't like the cheesy rhyming either, but that's what I was feeling.)
