Catch my Eye
I no longer remember what it was that caught my eye
What it was I found in him that I felt connected by
Maybe his pain, his estrangement, his defensive nature
Or maybe the hope I saw in his eyes, hidden deep but still glowing
There has never been a day since that I regret that move
The hand that I stretched out to his so I could soothe
His weary soul and aching heart and broken mind
I had helped others, but soon I found he helped me
I love him more than words can express, we both know this
We are not mates, friends, brothers, any title would miss
What it is we share and the strength of the bond that we have
I want him by my side, I always will
He is my closest companion, the very essence of the word friend
I would sacrifice my life for him and I hope he would do the same
He and I share a passion, the desire to help others
And at the same time, he has done more for me than I could have asked
Let us enjoy the time we have with each other
Rather than complain about the time that we don't.
