This is a story of a boy,
A boy from a broken family,
A boy with a dream,
A boy with a goal,
And a boy with the means to achieve both.

This is a story of a girl,
A girl from a broken family,
A girl with a dream,
A girl with a goal,
And a girl with the means to achieve both.

He was born without a care in the world,
He was born with parents that loved him,
He was born without a spoon in his mouth,
But did he care?

She was born without a care in the world,
She was born with parents that loved her,
She was born without a spoon in her mouth,
But did she care?

He did well in school,
He worked hard and got good grades,
He had friends that cared for him.

She did well in school,
She worked hard and got good grades,
She had friends that cared for her.

His life got rough,
It got hard to live,
He couldn't keep up,
He sat in his room in silence.

Her life got rough,
It got hard to live,
She couldn't keep up,
She sat in her room in silence.

He decided not to give up,
He decided to keep working,
He decided to die trying,
He decided to let God guide him.

She decided a different path,
She decided to cut herself,
She decided to feel the blood on her wrists,
She decided she wasn't good enough for life.

He didn't notice her,
She didn't notice him.

But a twist of fate,
The winds changed,
Their paths crossed,
His with hers, and hers with his.

They became friends,
They were the best,
But she harbored a secret,
But he harbored a secret.

She hated herself,
But she loved him.

He loved life,
But he loved her more.

Then she disappeared,
No one knew a thing,
Not even him.

He worried,
He cried.

He worried,
He died.

Then she returned,
Her secret no longer,
He knew,
And he cared.

He grabbed her by the hand,
He looked deep into her eyes.

'If you can't love yourself,
I'll love you for the both of us.
