You don't have that superhuman hearing or vision,

But you always knew whenever I am in distress.

You were not the guy who flies around the world in search of hopeless victims,

But you always manage to turn up whenever I needed someone.

You were not bulletproof,

But you manage to make me feel invulnerable whenever I felt your embrace.

You didn't have that superhuman strength,

But you always made my weak cries turn to strong laughs.

You were not as handsome as Clark Kent, but you both wore glasses.

Not everyone gets to have a superman in their lives,

But I had you, my very own Superman.

The person who made rough times easy.
The person who would always put a smile in my face.
The person who would do anything to bright up my mood.
The person who would take away all of my fears just by letting my head rest in his chest.
The person who loved me ever so dearly.

And,

The person I took for granted.
The person I saw as an option.
The person I rejected.

I saw your pain, your misery, your sadness.

Little by little your character change.

The glasses were gone and your eyes clearly showed misery.
The smile was gone and it was replaced by a frown full of hurt.
The vibrant character was now dark.

I miss your jokes.
I miss your smile.
I miss your love.
I miss you.

But all of it was my fault.
I didn't see your worth.
I didn't realize how much you mean to me.
I didn't realize that I love you.

It's too late now.

You're already gone.
I already broke your heart.
And now, there is no room for love in your chest.

You're already a monster.

But you'll always be my Superman,
Even though, you're not mine anymore.
