He showed me the way he sees the world,
The way reality looks to him
Through his confused eyes.
So beautiful, so sad.
Something so personal,
And of all people, he shared it with me.

I gave him a glimpse of my strange world,
The way I perceive it all
Through my confused eyes.
So high and so damn low.
Something that is just mine,
But I chose to share it with him, my friend.

We revealed, we saw,
What others could not comprehend
Even if they were to try with all their might.
Not that they would want to.
But neither of us are running.
Neither of us is hiding.

We'll live life, we'll die,
That's the only certainty we know.
My heart breaks for this boy, wants to shelter him.
All I could say was "deal with it,
You're stuck with me, mister."
"Likewise... And you, me."
I had the most amazing conversation with a friend of mine today... We were talking for something like four hours, and it barely seemed like one.

Our conversations are usually rather hilarious, but this conversation was different. There were moments of wit, which served as comic relief in a very serious talk.

This friend is the only person who has not run away when they catch a glimpse of the way I see things. And he seemed surprised that upon learning his mind, that I didn't run either. We seem to completely understand one another. He knows more than my best friend, who I have been friends with a VERY long time... This friend, I've only known a few months.

So, come what may, I have an amazing soul-buddy for life - however long that may be. And that single conversation is what inspired this.
