When My Boyfriend Stands Up For Me

I try to get good grades

But I am fading-I just want to hide inside a barricade

Though I feel estranged from everyone and everything-

My boyfriend comes up to me-And-wraps his arms round me

Comforts me by whispering these words in my ear-

“It’s gonna be all right, baby. Everything is going to be okay.

Yeah, everything’s gonna be all right soon. There is one thing that  has to happen, only one little thing we need to do.”-

And-I-I ask him in reply-

“What do we need to do, my sweet, beautiful sweetheart?”

My boyfriend tells me

“We only have to let everybody know that you and I-Yes, you and I-

Are going out-Yeah, honey, I love you enough to say everyone-

This girl and I-That pretty little girl sitting in the corner-And I-We’re dating now.”

I know that he-My boyfriend-will always be there for me 

He will always help me up should I fall,

There to stick up for me,

And I will be there for him if anything should happen to hurt in any way.
