Look what it has come to,
I am now all alone
Sitting here wishing I was the one who
Saved her
I wish I was brave and courageous like yourself
But, I am not
I am a coward and like ice on a hot day
My feelings melt to smithereens each time I think about it
I would do anything to walk in your shoes one day
To feel the fame and spotlight shining on me
You did it cause you cared, not for the money and publicity
You are now my hero

Simple, but quite profound. It seems that the hero is such not so much for the things they received attention for but for simply doing the right thing for the right reasons. Nicely done
Thanks for entering
