As soon as his row got backstage, Tanner could feel the nervousness running through his blood, but at the same time it felt good because this was his moment to express his feelings, there was no turning back now. After the first few contestants, he took a deep breath before walking on stage where the light immediately blinded him. But once he adjusted his sight, he made his way to the microphone where he spotted Autumn in the audience staring at him with surprise in her eyes. He returned with a small smile as he turned back to the audience.

"Um, before I began" he spoke into the microphone "I just wanna say that I didn't exactly prepare a poem for this because everything that I'm going to say came from my heart."

He gave another deep breath as he started.

Everything about you lights up my world

Your life tells a story unlike any other

You thought you were invisible

You thought no one cared

You thought you lost all hope


But the moment I met you

I knew I had saved you


I've wondered who was behind that mask of yours

The person you tried to keep hidden from view

You were a mystery I needed to solve

A puzzle piece without art to fill

I needed to know who you were

To heal the wonder in my soul


I never thought you would make my world

To amaze me with your spirit

To take my breath away with a single smile

A smile that can only be seen by chance

A smile that once seen you can't unsee it


When I look into your eyes, I don't see stars

I see a whole galaxy revolving around us

And even though seeing stars is a beautiful thing

Seeing a galaxy is a new level

And when I look at you I see infinity


Everything about you inspires me

You bring harmony to my world

You've given me the light of the world

To see what's on the other side of this wall


Your name is as beautiful as the time itself

Your heart embraces the beauty within

I never thought you would wind up in mine

Beating to the sound of your very name


You may not be like other girls
