A Place Where Oleanders Bloom

(A)lphabet Boy

His name started with A, he was the beginning of my adventure
He stole my heart without even trying, he stole my love without a kiss
Though our bodies never touched, he touched my soul and left me with bliss
I can imagine a future without him, but I won't
I won't because to me he is my future, he is my home
He is my afternoon kisses in the sun, my evening dinners in the cold
He is the smile after every joke, the cold water on a hot day
When I think of him I think of fire, one that ignites my soul
Turns my diamonds into gold, shapes my heart into a beautiful mold
My name starts with A, I was the end of his adventure
He didn't want me as I was, he saw who I could be
He wanted me in chains, he didn't want me free
Since our bodies never touched, I would never be enough
He couldn't see me in his future, he saw himself alone
He thought he wanted me, I was never his home
So he ended the one-sided love, forgetting an A for a Z
Since he knew in his heart he would never choose me
