Hey Lucas, I know you won’t hear these words They’re coming too late, hard to reach, and too blurred I wish I told you to smile more, live life with ease But I only understood when I started to lose peace I know the pain was heavy, the pressure held you down Every judgment locked you in, made you feel like you’d drown Now I look back, I wish I could set you free But I know only time will teach you to be This letter’s reaching you late, but maybe you’ll feel The weight you’re carrying one day will heal I wish I told you not to hide, not to be afraid The world won’t stop just because of the choices you’ve made At fifteen, you had so much to smile and to learn But fear took over, and you began to turn If I could go back, I’d say ignore their stare Be free, be light, before pain catches you unaware I know it was tough, it wasn’t in vain And though I couldn’t reach you, your echoes remain The boy I was still lives inside of me In the memories of childhood, in all that I used to be This letter’s reaching you late, but maybe you’ll feel The weight you’re carrying one day will heal I wish I told you not to hide, not to be afraid The world won’t stop just because of the choices you’ve made Now I know you wouldn’t have listened back then Life had its own way of sending its end But if a part of me could somehow reach your soul I’d say love is stronger than what others control This letter may be lost, but I still long to say That despite it all, it’s worth finding your way Even if I'm late, out of place, so far I love you, boy, and you’re destined to go far And now I embrace who I am, even if the past still stings Because every mistake brought me here, and life’s lessons it brings
