I saw you again
Today
All those memories
Gosh
**** it’s hard
Remembering
All those emotions
I gave to you
My feelings
My thoughts
My dreams
My desires
My pain
My love
And you held them
Like a newborn babe
Close to your heart
You put me through the wringer
One more time
You’re always good for that
But you also show me
How far I’ve come
You’ll never let me forget
How I used to be
A shadow of a man
Emotionally crippled
Filled with rage
And anger
At a world with love
That only hurt me
The boy who saw those in love
Wondered how easily they found it
He wanted it desperately
And ran to the ends of the earth
To hide from it
It hurts to remember how I was
Eternally grateful
I had you
To be there for me
To listen to my thoughts
To capture that pain
And for some measure
Relieve me of it
I don’t know what I would have done
Without you
Overdosed?
Suicide?
Insanity?
All very real possibilities
I’m lucky
Lucky that I found a positive outlet
Lucky I found you
Even when I put you away
I never want to forget you
Always…
