Simply Who I Can Be
I .... am still me ....
Even though you can't see,
through my own pain and grief.
I .... still care to be ....
the exact same man you married before becoming a United States Marine,
so many years a go, but listen up lady.
I .... am truly ....
deeply sorry, for there's no ifs or maybes, it's not something that I can change back yet sadly baby.
I wish .... I knew how ....
It's just something that has to be for now.
So I'm .... begging you please ....
Don't yet walk out on me,
cause I walked out on me already.
And if not you .... then who ....
will see this thing on through?
Love me .... for me Boo ....
Isn't that the number one thing that a wife suppose to do?
Like I said before, I'm .... still me ....
just slightly alive inside, but still just insanely, deeply, if not more madly in love with you crazy.
I .... can not be ....
Batman without Robin.
Whose Bonnie without Clyde, tell me lady?
But .... I guess ....
I'll still have to carry on, is what you suggested.
..... Damn.

Dear S,
Your piece if very heartfelt and raw. Life experiences and career choices can often misdirect who we are sometimes and it’s even more difficult when we realize this but feel powerless to remain true to who we really are. Such an eloquent plea “Don't yet walk out on me,
cause I walked out on me already.
And if not you .... then who ....
will see this thing on through?“
Sometimes I think we choose our mates knowing they see more in us than we see in ourselves.
I am wondering if “So I'm .... beginning you please” is meant to read as “begging” instead?
Your write is an excellent work of love and humility. H🌷
