Your son is on the spectrum"
Six words I'd never thought I'd hear
Yet here we are with my five-year old son
The therapist's words were crystal clear
At the time it was one of the hardest days if my life
I did my research and was prepared
Couldn't say the same for my wife
She was in denial. Couldn't see the light
She was petrified, but I knew we'd be alright
I saw it for myself in his lack of eye contact
Saw it in his eating habits and social skills he lacked
The infatuation he had with the color blue

Dear God...it's me again
It's now been 14 months since I lost my best friend
The pain is subsiding but it never goes away
I think about my little brother every single day
I still talk to him as if he was still here
Tell him about my day as I wipe away the tears
He was so young, God, I just don't understand
He was in the prime of his life. Why you take him out like that?
But then again, I know you never make mistakes
My brother is in Heaven and I know that he's ok
Comforted by the fact that he's no longer in pain
He's better off...

It was your smile that captured me at first
That way you bite your lower lip when you flirt
Looking into brown eyes my heart beats fast
Trying to be cool and calm "Breathe brother, man, just relax"
But I accept the fact that I'm fallin for you
Cupid's gravity pulling me down and this feels so good
Let me repay you for this feeling, baby, as best I can
I pray God grants me the chance for me to be your man.

It was your angelic touch that got me shook
Your cute little snort when you laugh at all of my jokes
Looking in your eyes as my soul...
