Just a Boy

Just a Boy
By: María C. Blas Pérez

There was a boy
Who loved a girl
She was the first in his life
He loved her smile
He loved her eyes
He loved her style

The little boy thought
That all that love
Was going to be forever
But it didn’t last that long
A forever became never

He cried, he missed
He became weak
So weak, so weak
His heart started to think
That he was never going to find
Someone who could make him smile

A long time passed
He had to forget
He tried and he tried
But he never felt regrets

One day he thought
That he wasn’t right
He finally realized
That he could search
For the precious smile
He dreamed every night

As weeks passed
He became stronger
No matter what
He tried not to be sad

I know that some day
He will find his way
His way to that dream
He’s been trying to reach

Good luck little boy
Careful in this cruel world
Don’t trust everybody
Just because their words

Remember always
To follow your heart
Don’t look back
The past is the past
Forget about that

Live for yourself
And not for someone else
Who could break your heart
And make you feel alone
