Boys Will Be Boys

Boys will be boys
that's what they said.
But to me, boys were drugs
and I'd wind up dead.

Nothing ever worked,
until I found you.
You were my hope for love,
The start of something new.

The horrible distance
It was our greatest threat.
sometimes it didn't matter,
you were my safety net.

Once or twice we perished,
not understanding our hearts.
But mind over matter,
we were never fully apart.

Were connected in ways
I never would've thought.
and I crazy about you,
I love you a lot.

So we'll continue on this path
until it hits an end.
And I'll be right beside you,
my best friend.
