Someone like you, David

You were quiet, steady, still
Eyes that saw beyond the hill
Spoke so little, but I knew
You always searched for what was true

Every step, you planned with care
Heart so honest, always fair
Didn't cry like other boys
But held the pain without a noise

So here's to someone strong and kind
You give, expecting none in kind
A quiet flame the world can't see
But brighter than it'll ever be
Someone like you, David

You took your breath as she let go
And left me lost so long ago
But somehow in your silent grace
I found a softer, safer place

You'd stand for right, you'd take the fall
No fear, just love behind it all
I saw the way you looked at her
Like nothing else in life was surer
And she saw you, the truest part
Two silent souls, one beating heart

So here's to someone brave and true
The kind the world has only few
And through your eyes, I came to see
What love and courage really mean

Someone like you, David
