Real Magic

I sat down

In my seat in the theater.

We waited for the show to start

With anticipation. I loved the book

And now it's on Broadway

And I couldn't wait.

The show started up, and I'm not a theater kid

I know nothing about acting at all,

But I

it. It was similar to the book. Only a few characters were off, 

In my opinion.

The boys

The beautiful

Boys

The main characters

Were

Perfect.

They were awkward and sweet

And their friendship

Came ALIVE onstage

Like I'd never seen before.

There was hugging in the script, I knew that

But it was so much more passionate.

The actors WERE the characters.

And those two boys

Bonded by rewinding time

By love

Were there for each other.

I felt the bond

Between them

As strong as anything.

The show put the words on a page into reality

Into life

Into the characters

And I was breathless.

It was

Undoubtedly

One of the greatest things I'd ever seen.

It made me believe

Magic is real.

  • Story of my life

    I could pretend to be happy

    When the world is ending

    And you'd all believe me

    I'm a great actor

    But never onstage

     

    I can say I'm happy for you

    Congrats that's so cool

    When under it all

  • It's hard

    It's hard

    It's really hard

    When there are so many people to balance all the time

    So many personalities

    So many conversations

    Overlapping

    Talking over each other

    So many big emotions

  • I think

    I think you make me really happy

    I think it’s sort of all-consuming

    I think I want to be with you every second

    Of every day

    I think maybe what keeps me up at night

    Is replaying you
