Like I Can

It’s one of too many phrases. ‘No-one will ever love you like I can’. Words uttered by lovers. ‘You’ll never swim as far as I can.’ Two people be it siblings, girl/boyfriend, spouse or spouse-to- be, there’s always the cheekiness and the love behind those words. It’s a challenge. What will you dare to say back? I would reply, ‘Exactly. So that works both ways. No-one will ever love you like I can.’ No-one will ever love you like I can. When I’m with you, nothing else matters. No even if what I write relates to the title I’ve written. Because I’m happy. Why? You’re all I want. Someone who would be by my side through everything. Making good memories, enduring bad ones and surviving the ones that life gives us. Before, the word ‘Us’ wouldn’t have been there. I’m used to facing things alone and crumbling away because no-ones been there. There’s still a barrier. But this time, it isn’t being ashamed to feel from my heart. It’s to not seem weak. ‘No tears.

Dad

Why did you never come to see me? Do you even care? The relationship that we have is not one that many share. You never even came to see me start secondary school. Now my hard has hardened in case I am mistaken for a fool. You never even came to see me first perform yet I think about you at dusk and dawn. You put me and Mum through so much pain and I really hope that you feel ashamed. Why did you fight for me then, but not look for me now? It's that everyone changes for the worst; That's what I've found. I wonder, do you even deserve the title, 'Dad'? Because thinking of you only makes me mad. Mad at myself that I made you go away. I just hope that you'll be my dad some day. I wrote this at 13 years old.
