There Was A Boy

there was a boy with eyes like the ocean

who smiled at everyone

and girls loved him

and he was everyone's friend

there was a boy with eyes like the ocean

who i never thought i'd love

until he smiled at me

and the other girls were jealous

because i was his best friend

there was a boy with eyes like the ocean

and i wondered what demons plagued him

 he doesn't smile much anymore

and i'm not sure if i'm his friend at all

and the girls have all moved on

there is a boy who i love more than myself

who smiles only for her

and he still has eyes like the ocean

(but i eventually drowned)
