rallentando

By theBAC

this is for the boy
who’ll never know me
this is for the boy
who will never hear my voice
this is for the boy
sitting on his porch
or in a dark room
under a lonely light
this is for the boy
reading the words
in this book
long after i am dead
this is for the boy
who understands all of this
this is for the boy
i’ll never see
this is for the boy
i’m writing for
i hope you’re proud of me
