Unsung Hero

Because he always listened when she spoke
Because he always laughed at every joke
Because he lacked some stature and some height
Because he didn't always get it right
He was her hero.

Because each time he talked he made her laugh
Because each second only felt like half
Because each word was worth a conversation
Because each day was like a revelation
He was her hero.

Because he never asked, she never told him.
Because she never said, he never knew.
