(I changed the name.)
I tend to think
that I have a little bit
of my grandfather in me.
He was a gentle soul
and he loved his family greatly
and though
I will never be
as kind and as wonderful as he
I know
that his spirit
has transformed me
and made me who I am.
He was always one to tease us,
to playfully jest
to show that he cared about us,
yet when it came to the people around
there would be a side
that could come out
that was stubborn and angry.
I guess I sound a little bit like him.
When he was younger he was trouble
and three fourths of the time
he was causing problems
and I'd like to say
that I'm not following that order of things
but I know that I'm a little bit of trouble,
as well.
I'm not so innocent.
I'm not going to brag about it.
It isn't good
but I think, perhaps,
my grandfather's spirit
is what pulls me to you
and the reason that I love you so much
is because I am like you.
You are a lot of trouble.
That much I'll say.
You're hell on wheels
and at the end of the day
you've got a little bit
of the devil in your eyes.
Yeah you've got lies
and pride
and maybe
because I have a tendency
to be that,
I can see
the good qualities in you too,
the ones that remind me of my grandfather,
the gentle and beautiful nature that you possess
that the rest
don't quite have.
You may be mischievous,
dangerous
(because kissing you is very dangerous
and loving you is even more so
and dangnabit I've got scars to prove it)
but the danger is just part of the adventure
and the journey is the story
and if there was no story
nothing would be interesting.
If there was no conflict
there would be no resolution
and how boring would that be?
Thank God,
life is more than just
some boring fluff
and that sometimes
he sends a man
with the devil in his eyes
who is so familiar
to what you've known all of your life
and he gives you what you need,
a best friend
who,
at the worst
is your partner in crime
and at the best
is the one
who will love you unlike the rest.
Yes,
thank God
for a soul like my grandfather's.
Thank God for a soul like me.
Maybe
one day in the future
my children will be saying
thank God for a soul like
like their mother,
when they stare into the eyes of their lover
or perhaps,
their brother
in arms
who is a little bit of trouble
but is one of life's greatest blessings
because that's what your best friend
in the world should be,
someone who's real with you,
someone who's fake with you,
someone who has shown you the worst side
and the best side
and to you,
you don't mind
because we're all human.
My love for you is like no other,
my confidante,
my best friend,
my lover,
my heart,
and my treasure.
Thank God for you,
Westley,
Thank God.
