he's not a man
to tell you straight
he'll watch from afar
and be your silent guard

he's not a man
who rushes things
its strangely nice
that he takes his time

he's the kind of man
you want around
when the world spins too fast
and nothing good seems to last

he's the kind of man
you feel calmer around
who keeps you safe
and knows when to cave.

he's the kind of man
for warm winter evenings
for simple conversations
for an uncomplicated life

but he didn't get all those things
and when he smiles, you can see it sometimes
so i pray that his dreams do come true
even if it is a little late, i hope she finds you
that girl who you've been looking for,
the house, the car, and even the boat by the shore.

for you're the kind of man
who makes the best of friends
and it would break my heart
to see you forcing your hopes to end.

you helped to keep my dreams from being torn
i sincerely hope god helps you fulfil your own.
