them

The boy who is afraid of heights

Takes orders through a metal box

And once he grew his hair out into

Those dark curls I despise

He found all the ways to haunt my daydreams and nightmares alike

 

The skinny boy with glasses

Got contacts a year later

He swims for miles and miles

And searches inside himself for the truth of whose hand to hold

Although the he once held mine every day

 

The boy with dark skin and lovely laughter

Will probably never grow up

He will probably always search for a girl's approval

And will continually lose that girl in the end

But he will be sure to make her smile

 

The boy who carved a cross into his skin

He thought he understood me and could fix me

But he could barely understand himself

And he barely hugged me

Even though he wanted to

 

The boy who plays bass

Will probably never be my boyfriend

But he's done more for me than all of them

Combined

He makes me question reality, love, life, myself

He jokes around with me and keeps me honest

He holds my hand and lets me cry and makes me laugh

He urges me to go on and to be happy

And he will always be there to do so
