PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

In truth, it's a good thing we never ended up official - we would have hated each other in the end.

Our lifestyles were well suited for the time - one summer exactly.

I taught him thoughts and made him feel again; enough to open his heart up again and trust. He taught me how to stand up for myself and say no, but I never could do that with him however. I never realized that 'til all was said and done when I forced myself to say goodbye.

When I drank so much with friends that the thought of him didn't have a chance of tempting me because I'd pass out before then. I told myself he'd come back and be the superhero he was before. Winter of '08 was a very hard one and by spring the outside world was still dark. He brought me to the light and up to the surface where I became human again. By September however you had put in a different type of darkness.

It was never dark but always dim. I suppose that's why friends should stay that way. If it's more you lose out on the friendship if it ends in tragedy and if you stay friends, you won't ever know what you're missing or potentially, usually, lost.

He was my best friend and he was more than that. I have no regrets for he had also taught hope in some people isn't always the right thing for your heart.

We were the same species only polar opposites.

You, hot. Me, cold.

Outdoorsy, artisty.

Outgoing, cautious.

Essentially, it came down to what we both wanted out of life.

He was a gypsy and I, a settler; He is spontanious, and I am stable.

And the truth of the matter is, no matter how bad I felt at the time, I thank him more than anything.

He gave me a chance to find what I've always been looking for. It turned out that person was right in front of me the whole time. Because of this cowboy, I would have never gotten the chance to love again; to fall in love with the person that I was meant to be with.

So thank you T.C. Thank you for being the "typical" guy; thank you for all the pain, tears and some parts even laughter. Thank you for the chance to find the person that you couldn't be for me.

I'm happy. Without you.
