I had a great man
one of the rare good ones
he was kind
sweet
hardworking
he would do anything for you
he was a lantern in the dark
like anyone
he wasn't perfect
and I targeted those imperfections
believing he couldn't love me
if he didn't show me love
the same way I did
growing angry
I pushed him away
I had a great man
that I let slip out of my grasp
having fantasies in my head
clouding my vision
with my focus locked on being right
becoming blind of everything else
letting it blur
the rare good man
standing right in front of me
not knowing what I truly had
until he was gone
leaving me with a broken heart
full of regret
only having myself to blame
