I sighed as I wrote the letter.
I knew I would be back one day
That one day wouldn't be soon.
I felt bad leaving her behind
But she needed to be protected
Protected against the real me.
The darker side of me that nobody but myself has seen,
Society pressures us boys into keeping it down pact
Never showing emotions
Always being tough, strong and emotionless.
I knew she would cry for a little but it had to be done.
I stuck it on the fridge where she would see it
