At sweet sixteen I met the love of my life
Had adolescent dreams, she was going to be my wife
We shared our moments, when nothing else seemed to care
When expectations couldn’t bring yet their despair
I could put a happy mask upon my ravaged face
When every doubt disappeared and everything fell into place
I could hold up a fist against animosity and fear
When you were the living proof, I had someone near
At sweet sixteen you crawled into an eternal peace of my soul
You deserved yourself a place, where years could never take their tole
Your sweet words are written on the walls of my heart
Your laugh is the treasure of my soul, So it never can part
And even though time shows his angry face
No one can ever take your place
Still have dreams faith eventually will be our kindest friend
Hoping the future will lend us its hand
At sweet sixteen your transformed my world into paradise
Sharing your words, warm and wise
You showed sincere interest in a young boy with a fragile mind
Lending your ear, being so kind
You built the first peaces of my current inner faith
You built the groundwork’s off my emotional walls
Against apathy and pure hate
At sweet sixteen I felt a hand on my fragile shoulder
And I could only wish, I wouldn’t get any older
