When you found love
   her kisses can cause alzheimers
and I got my first kiss
all over again
  
She can turn pain into a man
  that I've never met
and I can easily beat him up
     knowing all you need
to do is to fight

She can turn my traumas
    into monsters
She is the lamp and the teddy bear
  the protector and the way
             whenever I feel
my life is going dark

A woman who loves you
   can shapeshift into anything
you want
   All she asks for you
is just
be the man
that you promised her
to be

They said monsters are under your bed
      with big claws
            and sharp teeth
some called it the boogeyman

mine offered me a seat
       at our dining table
with firm hands
       and a perfect smile
I called him dad

They said
    I make the most stupid choices
from choosing alcohol over books
    and cigarettes over gum.

Dropping grades
while raising my voice
 towards my mom for nagging 24/7
     You question yourself
to the point
your friend's room
     has been more of a home
than the hands of who raised you

But the world ain't fair
         when you were made
from your father's fake promises
   that made your mother's heart
colder than the beer she held.

I was called by many names
  from being the most stupid
to being the most hated
  
              But God I loved it
        when you called me yours

Even a five star food on the table
  can turn inedible
       cause of one star parenting
no matter what plate
a parent can cook    
    if he fills the child with misery
all things turn sour

You know
      you love her
when her calls
    feels like the sunrise
entering through your windows
       and her voice
is the alarm clock to your soul
      whenever you sleep
with an aching heart
    from missing her

You taught me
   that love is pure
when the present
    Doesn't hate you from your past
         instead waters you
to grow better in the future.

    To my beloved wife,
the strings of our fate
   have become one
We will journey this life together
       facing other demons
while taming ours.
         I'll love you better
for you molded me to be the best
             and for that...
     I offer you my remaining days

If you give too much,
     love can hurt you.
The emptiness
   that drowns you
whenever she doesn't care
  everytime you knock on her door
without her knowing
   you'd go an extra mile for her....

But love will always be random
  Maybe in places you never know
Or
  She might be next door....
just waiting
  for you to come over
