Ode to the one who gets left behind

Ode to the one who gets left behind in the end
Shall he live to shine another day.
Shall he also live to know the truth
and claim what is rightfully his.
To sigh in relief, to remember,
His name on a late Saturday night.
I drink to his ignorance,
I drink to his naiveness,
I drink to his innocence.
Cause alas - he knows not,
He deserves not.
May the happiness never
fade from his eyes.
Because I wish for only him
all the best in the world.
