What Makes a Man 2012/2019






Two years have passed since the last words
Remember 10 years ago? How one could not imagine life without you?
How one was so absorbed that marriage seemed feasible and the only option?
How until death tears us apart weren't just words?

10 years forward, believe me
Not easy, not simple
Diagnosis, cancer, death
Sudden growing up.

How scared I was in the past
Yet, unbeknownst to me, faith was completed
How I never considered myself good enough for anything or anyone
But the circle is now complete.

The pending marriage proposal
The glowing feeling of having children with her
The idea of growing old together.

Always a one trick pony, a hidden wreckage and depressed shell
But a desire to prove naysayers wrong.

I love you
You aren't perfect but neither am I
Let's be flawed together.

You have to go and now I found it in a drawer
Can't go on, no I'll go on
