I Knew A Boy Once When I Was Small
A Towhead Blond With Eyes Of Salt
He Played The Drum In The Marching Band..
His Parents Cared More About The Bible
Than Being Good To Their Own Child
He Wore Long Sleeves 'Cause Of His Dad..
And Somehow, We Fell Out Of Touch
Hope He Took His Bad Deal
And Made A Royal Flush
Don't Know If I'll See You Again Someday
But If You're Out There,
I Hope That You're Okay..
My Middle School Friend Grew Up Alone
She Raised Her Brothers On Hеr Own
Her Parents Hated Who Shе Loved
She Couldn't Wait To Go To College
She Was Tired 'Cause She Was Brought
Into A World
Where Family Was Merely Blood..
Does She Know How Proud I Am
She Was Created..
With The Courage To Unlearn All
Of Their Hatred..?
We Don't Talk Much, But I Just Gotta Say..
I Miss You..
And I Hope That You're Okay
(Address The Letters..)
(To The Holes In My Butterfly Wings)
(Nothing's Forever..)
(Nothing Was As Good As It Seems)
(And When The Clouds Won't Iron Out)
(And The Monsters Creep Into Your House)
(And Every Door Is Hard To Close..)
Well, I Hope You Know
How Proud I Am You Were Created..
With The Courage To Unlearn
All Of Their Hatred..
But, God, I Hope That You're
Happier Today..
'Cause I Love You..
And I Hope That You're Okay..
