There is a man,
A man that I knew as a boy
We grew up as one,
For so long we were together
We were inseparable
Now, he is a man
He is passionate
And driven
As we were,
He never made me want for more
I had no needs left unfulfilled
He completed me
Until one day
We were torn apart,
Not by choice
The distance ruined us as young
This was my only broken moment
It wasn't when I was abused,
It wasn't when I was cursed at
It wasn't when I was afraid for my life
It wasn't when I was choked by a very violent man
It was only when the separation began
That is when the confusion set in
So young, and so in love
Yet told to branch out
Told not to hold on
And now,
Still we are separate
The distance consumes us
Yet here we are
Still expressing our love
