It has been a while old friend, I thought you were asunder. It took not the brokeness for this aha! but instead the firm rejection of everything you had been taught to love. And now on hindsight, your own judgement was not far from fallen but you listened to misguided ghost who promised grandeur and eternities. Stuff of fairytales and fantasies.

He said companion, and I replied that he was misguided and knew not what he spoke of
that in relationship lay a core more profound than I could put into words
that kisses, cuddles and holding hands would make the earth grovel
for what it stood for, words could not suffice
sex. He shouted back, and I froze, my last destroyed it for me, I trailed
and it will never live up to that.

and though at that time I meant that no one could live up to that.. it could, but that would be tough shoes to fill.

but it has since taken on a different meaning all together. And maybe he has a point and I was the foolish one.

don't need fanfare, hugs, acknowledgement. I don't need a label or an arm candy. I don't want just anyone. I don't need someone.

I'm just glad to have you.
