I’m not the man
That I used to be.
You were my stability
When I was unstable.
Two roles
We never conciously accepted.
And now,
I’m learning to depend,
To rely,
On myself.
I’ve not replaced you,
I’ve not overtaken what’s yours.
I want to be one half of a whole,
Not an entire burden.
Please, I beg you,
Bear with me,
And I’ll learn to be yours
All over again.
And maybe,
Just maybe,
We’ll live and love happily
After all.
