__So complete, so absolute__— is the one tear a man chooses to shed. Because truth is, his emotions live in a shed too— thrown together in panic, windows cracked, doors barely hanging on. A man who doubts his own worth never finds the change he really needs— and even his spare moments run so thin, His spare tyre is flat from carrying too much weight in the dark. His dreams are balloons on sticks, meant to rise but they are tied to the ground. He is good to her, in small ways; but he knows he could become better if he stopped confusing survival with love — _if he let go of those instincts._ For where the heart burns wicked and the mind judges cold, he meets his true rival: __himself.__

The Man Who Could Be Better
Extra body language— just for us to read the room before the room reads us. First kisses always taste like strangers— sweet, but searching... Elaborate that spirit I adore, the way it moves freely each time my hands translate your skin. You're a free spirit— wild in the wind, yet kneeling in humbleness. To make you whole, to keep you whole— it feels selfish to promise I’ll love you wholeheartedly when I’m still mapping the hidden rooms of my own heart. Still— I see you whole. Divine sight, as if God blinked and left His light in your eyes. Pleasure, patient. Affirmation, never late. And when my lips meet yours— it’s honey spilling slow. Be sweet as my honey, and I’ll work your spirit like a blue-collar honeybee— faithful to the bloom, devoted to the nectar. stirring softness from sweetness. I am your honeybee.
