Here’s to the boy
Who gave me his heart
Who lent me his days
To show me I mattered

Here’s to the boy
who gave me promises
he intends to keep
who wouldn’t mind at all
to spend what’s left
in his life
with me

Here’s to the boy
I never even met
Who might just be a dream
Or some fantasy

Here’s to the boy
I hope that exists
