Remembrance

I would rather you remember me as

What I was to you.

In that way,

I'll live on as a man of many things.

Was I a good person?

Well, only if I was good to you.

Was I cool and composed?

Well, only if I never let myself break down in front of you.

Was I brave and courageous?

Well, only if I never ran when you were there.

I don't want to be remembered as

What I think I was

But rather as

What I really was.
