My Favorite

More about My Favorite

It has taken a long time to understand my life. To understand my way, to reveal my spirit, and become the man I have.

This is a full circle feeling, to come back to myself. Holding this flame, endearing, or foolhardy? 1 day knowing a lovers game. Growing, yet still many leaps yet to take.

Solitude, or loneliness? Feeling my malcontent spirit, until I found my path. I knew I should be dancing with 1 borrowed, looking for her 1 true blue. My hands were tied, in many ways I had put myself in shackles, a life denied.

Inner strife grew, I often thought I should be doing much more, I knew I was on the wrong path, inner conflict grew. This dance has revealed to me. I was missing something, missing something great. I just didn't know what, or who.

I have so much to give. I wish to hold another, be her snuggle bear, show her love, support her wishes. I was born to build with 1, a life, a world we both would find happiness in.

Be the 1 that supports a family big, or small. These arms are meant to show love, give comfort to ones I love, in struggles, in falls.

I know now this dance drew me back, back to life. Even now, I don't understand how. I only know love for others must be nurtured from within. In this love you cannot abandon yourself, especially in the name of helping another.

Too often, I allowed myself to be taken advantage of. In the end this harmed others, as well as myself. It also made me sorrow filled, for them, for me. Not understanding why many wanted to take advantage of me.

I know now they never took me seriously, they were pretending to have love for me. Many had taken advantage of my willingness to help, my desire to build things that last. They knew I was inspired, and they wished to exploit me. They thought I got lucky, or they thought they will teach me a lesson for giving of myself so freely.

Now I understand I was investing in the wrong friends all too often.

Many not understanding why I did what I did.

New friends found me, provided encouragement I have never known. Many hugs, no doubt a warmth from the cold. I reflect this love, and find within myself a fire that was far from just ashes.

I lost faith in dark times. I was lost, thinking my life would never turn. I sipped a sorrow distilled.

While some may still question my intentions, projecting their desires on to me. I find it doesn't phase my path, my resolve. They do not understanding how could hold this flame, not getting the depth of my fortitude, my growth. They often think I am caught in a maze.

So this love I give freely, I don't expect anything in return. I know if it is meant to be it will. I also have come to know the old me, never complete, also much more than than a dream.

Forever, Ever, and Evermore,
Aaron Baker
