There was something in his eyes
Something I am unable to describe
In that moment I felt his pain
Felt him shudder
Felt his world fall like rain.
I saw into his soul,
I saw everything that he knows.
All the suffering
And all the sorrow that his lonely heart holds.
I wanted to hold him and comfort him,
Make his world good and whole.
I wanted to let him know that I loved him
That he meant the world to me
And that I didn’t want to let him go.
It seemed like I was never able to get through
To the person that he wanted to be.
He faded back into the world on his own,
Changing for me not to see.
