A Hidden Friendship

Walking through the streets

Watching the world rush by

Cars fly past

Children laugh

Leaves flirt and flutter

Yet one boy sits in the gutter

His eyes are deep

His smile is wide

Yet I see

He is lost inside

My steps are slowed

My hair is wild

And as I sit beside her

He begins to cry

I hold his hand

As he holds mine

Both our feelings are kept inside

A school bell rings

A smile is faked

And as we walk

Words go unspoken

He goes left

And I go right

Yet our hands are still held tight

A hidden friendship is formed

And comfort is found

In a love that is; forever bound
