Real Boy

You were always more
Symbolic than
Human to me
So solid
Not bones, flesh, water, blood
Not another child
At the mercy of
All this

But you're a real boy
Through and through
And I was once more symbolic
Than human to you
A real boy
Through and through
A real boy

You were statuesque
And everybody else
Moved so recklessly
Trying to find themselves
In the deep, endless blue
All of us were there
Everyone but you
Or so it seemed

But you're a real boy
When all is said and done
And you say you think
That you are
The most
Reckless one
A real boy
When all is said and done
A real boy

You were always more
Symbolic than
Human to me
So solid
Not bones, flesh, water, blood
Not another child
At the mercy of
All this

But you're a real boy
Through and through
And I was once more symbolic
Than human to you
A real boy
Through and through
A real boy
