And all that you will be.

You wanted to be the one 
who offered resilience,
Instead, I ended up comforting your distress 
in the worst day of my life.


You wanted 
to communicate openly,
Instead, I articulated every word 
of the end that you were deciding.


You wanted to be 
the strength and the force,
Instead, I held you when your inner child 
overflowed into his pain.


You tried to read my eyes
while I was feeling your broken, 
silent soul.


You begged me 
to fight for you

and I love you
I love you so much
that -with this love and tenderness 
that I used to open a door for you-
I let you now leave for good
while I bless your way out.


First, because I love you.
Second, because you weren’t in the end 
who you said you would be.
