Let me tell you about a game I play
Where I close my eyes and fade away
I float away to a special place
Beyond the stars and moon and space
In this special place you see
There are only two people - just you and me
In this place, all is right
Nothing but love, and we never fight
In this place, there is no sadness
No cells, no courts, none of that madness
No rules to follow, no laws to break
No bars to hold us or separate
No one to tell us we can't kiss or touch
I don't just tell you "I love you" - I show you how much
But eventually the game must end
My eyes must open, and reality sets in
But someday soon - I'm not sure when
I will close my eyes and play my game again

I'm not sure how things would have turned out if he would have continued down the road he was on - but his last stint obviously did the trick and because of that - the wait was well worth it.
