You were the first person to catch my gaze
You were the one I whom I wanted to amaze
You never cared for what others did say
You only lived your life in your own way
When we spoke for the first time, I was in awe
Astounded by the person that I saw
A person who tries to live life with joy
Never treating anyone like a toy
You were brave enough to be who you really are
You'd only be yourself to anyone near or far
You are always honest, though it sometimes comes with pain
But somehow a smile will still remain
I admire you and the things you do
I admire the fact that you're always true
I admire that no one can bring you down
No one can turn your smile to a frown
