There sat a boy in turmoil
Noises in his head
The constant flicker
Of light and
Confusion...

There sat a girl trapped
Inside a body
That didn't respond
The way other
Bodies do...

To see the world
Only from the
Inside

To see the world
With no
Response

I sat with you
On a day like
Any other day...

I held your hand
I held your wonder
I held each dream
You dreamed

I wept for you
In private
And lauded you
In public

I believed in you
Always...

The spirit you gave
To me
The strength within
Of which I never
Deserved...

My love
My inspiration
The reason that I
Live.
