I never knew how to draw, but I drew you.

I drew you the way I saw you. I had your lines and curves right. Not perfect; not flawed— just right. I drew you to the song in my heart that plays whenever you were around. I drew you to its beat; my hand dances to its rhythm. I drew you to the beats of my heart.

"Who is that?" A curious mind asked.

I smiled. "That's him."

The eyes lost colour and flashed SOS signal. For what? For who? "No... that's not... him..."

I drew you the way I saw you. Not perfect, not flawed. I drew you to the beats of my heart.

"That's not him. That's... your expectation."

The SOS signal was for me. I needed help. I needed help from you.
