I believed my words were my greatest strength
That is until I met you, let me explain at length;
You've  given me the opportunity to really shine
And with no hubris I can say I've aged better than wine:

All the fears , and apprehensions I've had in the past
Were dispelled by you, and I really hope it lasts;
I'm a cowardly pretender who never realized his potential
Then you showed me that I'm far from inconsequential:

This is my attempt at an apology, without me having to say I'm sorry
Whoops, I guess I said it after all, I need to write with a little more chary;
But what's the point, for you I've already bared my soul
Because I want you to love me for me, that's always been my goal:

I don't understand why at times I feel so omnipotent
And then without you I'm back to being so insignificant;
I know who l can and who I  want to be…
Yet when you're gone, I tend to lose sight and can no longer see:

I swear I'm not co-dependent or a clingy person
It's just feels like without you my condition only worsens;
So these are the confessions of a man who's listening to his id instead of ego
Trying to shake off his L's and become greater than a zero:
