Saved
I wanted to be the one who saved him
And maybe that’s the saddest part,
That I wanted to save him
But failed.
I kept trying, but I never could
And I know that’s kind of horrible,
That I didn’t want him to be himself.
I wanted him to be someone else
Someone he wasn’t
And never would be
And never could be
Even if he tried
I wanted him
But I also wanted someone else
So I tried to make him be both
But of course I failed
Because each of us
Has only one life to live
So if someday
He becomes someone he’s not
I will know
And I will hate it
Because now I realize how beautiful
His own self really is
And I would never wish him to be someone else
Not now
Not anymore
Because I am me
And he is he
And that’s all we’ll ever be
And knowing that is a strange sort of beautiful
That not even the best writer could put into words.
m.c.c.
about a friend of sorts...
