Tango

Today, I lost a part of myself. 

But I'll carry him within me as long as I live, because he saved me.

Goodbye Tango, I love you and miss you.

Things I'd like to say but I'd rather write .

My stories are my own and they are not tragic,
sometimes unfortunate, but they made me what I am.
I cannot seem interesting to others through my misfortunes,

because no one loves a pity party, especially if its not theirs.
My future must not be shaped by my past anymore,
since self-empathy is good but introspection is better.

I should learn to love myself more,
without calculating how much I truly deserve every night.
I should believe in myself a little more,
more than everyday "I cans" in front of the mirror.
I should keep some of my secrets to myself,
because I must have my own personal share of amusements.
I should have more hope and lesser expectations,
because hope feeds you while expectations only disappoint.
I should stop trying so hard to be loved,
because in the end, real love is only looking for the real me.
