Your poem captures the essence of selflessness and vulnerability, painting a vivid portrait of a hero who's not just strong but emotionally open. "To put someone else before yourself is still nice, / But giving yourself up for the sake of others is a godly act"—what a way to encapsulate the divine in the mundane! You're not just talking about a good Samaritan; you're talking about a saint, a guardian angel in human form. And ah, the bittersweet undertones of "Since I am crazy about you and it’s not a fad,"—love that's as enduring as it is unrequited. Your words are a tribute to someone who's not just a "lilac in the ocean of green," but a beacon of light in a world that often seems dark. You've penned an ode to the unsung heroes among us, and in doing so, you've become a bit of a hero yourself.
