I met this man
who holds anxiety in his hands.
Who push himself away to forget about it
because he thinks nobody understands.
He thinks nobody notices him.
But I noticed the room is colder
when he's not there.
He thinks nobody would miss him.
But I know of at least one person
who would definitely care.
Because I met this man,
who is more loved than he knows.
Who thinks everybody leaves,
but the thought of him never goes.
Who when he listens to music,
gets in his own little world.
As if through musical notes
is the only way he can truly be heard.
He says he usually don't talk to people.
So I save the three words he sends like a prize.
I'm the first place winner
of tears streaming down my eyes.
I met this man,
who thinks his beauty is skin deep.
How could he believe that
with his heart I safely wanna keep.
Who doesn't know,
parties are created just so that he can be invited.
That when he walks into the room
all the lamps are instantly lighted.
What do you do
when you meet someone like that?
Do you just let him go?
Do you let him become a stranger?
Maybe he's better off
being somebody else's to know...
Because I met this man,
who hold the silent plea in his eyes.
For someone to see him
despite an emotionally numb disguise.
It's what he's growing up,
knowing as he smiles and he talks.
He forces himself to be perfect,
the way he waves, the way he walks.
The way people see him,
doesn't hold the grace for his past.
So he pretends to be sunshine,
to escape the shadow that he's cast.
So when I met this man,
didn't expect that to change.
What do you do
when you meet someone
who considers being himself?
Incredibly strange...
When nobody gave him patience.
When nobody thought he was worth the time.
What else can you do
except to try to hug him with a rhyme?
Somewhere in poetic prose.
In a mind nobody ever knows.
A beautiful man experiences such ugly lows.
Then there's plant a verse in my mind that goes;
"You deserve to be loved.
I believe that to be true.
Because people search for entire lifetimes,
for the inspiration I found in just one day
of being in the presence of you."
