SyntheticHeart's Poems and Songs

6 Years (Poem)

Happiness fills the air when I am by your side
I can see your genuine love when I look into your eyes
Dear brother, where would I be without you?
Kyle, my life just wasn’t the same without you

Now I am thrilled to still have you by my side
Even after I tore you apart inside
When I discovered who I was while we were together
Then I knew that I could not be your lover

And I never wanted to hurt you
But I ended up being very hard on you
Yet you still came back with open arms
Even after I caused your heart so much harm

I will never forget the times we spend together
Whether I called you my lover or if I call you my brother
I still feel a love genuine and true
When I stand happily beside you

I can’t believe that it has been 6 years
Since I met you and you calmed my fears
When I first met you I was recovering
From a trauma that I never told you was happening

I was so scared of romance after what had occurred
But you showed me that love does not have to hurt
I did not know what love was at the age of 10
But after experiencing the lust of young men

I saw love as something painful
I saw it as being corrupt and evil
But you made it calm and happy
You taught me, you helped me see

That there is a difference between love and lust
Over time I finally began to trust
In you and the happiness that you created
I became less and less panicked

By the thrill of romance
By the never-ending game of chance
Now I am sorry that then I did not understand
That I could not feel lust towards a man

I guess I could not truly see
How I felt until I hit puberty
But I am so glad that we can still be together
As symbolic brothers and sisters

Even after I broke your heart
With the realization I wish I had at the start
Of our everlasting time together
I hope that we can remain friends forever

I am sorry that I hurt you...
Now I have a million reasons to thank you!
