His Raison D'être

When called upon he will engage you as no other

He will envelope you with the warmest tidings and

Attentiveness and yield all that he is for the sake of

Knowing you and understanding every nuance of your being.

When called upon you will become his raison d’être.

The author was once this man.

This man no longer exists

But if he did, this is how he would be with you.

Please do not regret your longing for him.

It is all he has at this late hour,

now and as the sun begins to set.
