I once was mighty.

I once had a purpose.

Until my life went downhill.

That was when I knew stoicism was keeping me going.

It was my sword and shield.

Then they came into my life and things changed slowly.

I wanted to reject feelings.

But that rejection was something I feared.

I strived for so long until it finally caught up to me.

Had a love of my life.

Had friends I called family.

GONE.

Taken from my own insufferable dejection.

I know they moved on.

Yet, for some reason I can't.

I CAN'T MOVE ON..

I WANTED TO.

I WAS CLINGING TO PURE DESPERATION.

Most people don't want to move on its due to the final connection to what they once had.

I'm suffering with my own delusion that I can be with them again.

But I know I'll never get the forgiveness from the one I wanted to say I'd love the most.

I wanted to tell them that but I was with another person during that time.

I probably guessed they knew that I did.

Now that I'm a vessel of my former glory.

I'm just trying to strive and survive while having this pain and trying to be the hope for others that they never had.

I knew the consequences, but I didn't want to believe it.

I wanted to pour my hear & feelings out.

Yet I was too stubborn to know I was breaking myself.

I tried to be happy for all of them and especially to this one person.

One a few came to talk to me but I never wanted to SUFFER.

If I had the chance to say I loved you.

I would have said.

"You never failed to make my the way I wanted to be. Happy, and easily getting along instead of behind a stubborn prick. No wonder why I was attracted to such beauty that changed who I was."

Cheesy, I know.

Now we've grown apart as strangers and if we talked again. That's if we ever do.

I hope you and the rest are doing ok.
