Just a Boy
October 27, 2007 by edzguanko
I am two years older than he is, and yet, my experiences in life pale in comparison.
We share most of the same ideals, the same thirst for knowledge, the same love for music, the same zest for life.
I hide in mediocrity, and he keeps pushing me to the limelight (where he says I belong).
He takes on life as if it is a race, and I try to slow him down so he can enjoy just being himself.
In so many ways, he is a man I look up to.
He is someone whose judgment I trust. His thoughts and feelings matter to me.
In so many ways, he is a boy I love.
Last night, I caught a glimpse of the little boy hiding behind the driven and passionate man.
Last night, he was a lost boy, and my heart bled for him. I shed tears for his past and I love him all the more for it.
I love him, and this time, there was no denying it. There were no jokes to cover up all that is not said.
Last night, there was only me and him and the word (whispered hopefully), maybe.
