A Man


*.*.*.*.*

There is a man—
With blue eyes
And a kind soul—
But he will always be a boy:
Always with too much to give
Always with too many insults
Always with laughs to cover tears

There is a man—
With a secret
And too much understanding—
But he was never like other men:
He never went to the tavern
He never had girls
He never gave up

There is a man—
With scarves
And scars—
But he is too good for this world:
Always here to help
Always the last to leave
Always the one to come running

There is a man—
With too much love
And somehow not enough—
And he is perfection
And he was my first friend
And he is in love with someone else.
