Catch my Eye

Story by Alexos Drausus on SoFurry

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.
