So I must admit, you are not the first man I have written poems about. I know, I’m sorry to burst the bubble but I am in fact a hopeless romantic and have been writing poems in a journal online since I was in high school. The lack of emotion is actually just emotional suppression.
But the funny thing is, with all of the other men, I wrote about them like I started in your entry. Poetic. For me. Somewhat wistful. A romanization or dramatization of events. Full emo.
But what I have never done, is write in this style about a man. Like a journal entry I am assuming you are going to read one day.
I’ve always thought about giving the poems I wrote about my partner to him on our wedding as a gift.
But with others, I never wrote it in a journal entry or note style like they would actually someday read it.
Maybe that was my subconscious or intuition knowing they never would.
