Right In Front of Him

A man with a friend in every direction A man with his dreams within grasp A man with an endearing family Yet still a man who's left empty as he sleeps His dreams are lacking in joy and happiness He knows not of what leaves him in sorrow He spent years grasping at the truth Yet it was always there standing in front of him This man thought it was the opposite This man fought to always keep distance This man ruined himself to never receive it Yet he let in to the temptation She gave him an emotion unparalleled to any other She gave him what he thought was his downfall She gave him the bane of all he worked against Yet he couldn't help but embrace every bit of it Her love changed him down to his very core Her love dispelled all that he thought was true Her love that he ignored for too many years Yet he took it all willingly This woman gave him what he truly needed This woman has the opportunity to change it all This woman who gave him true happiness and bliss Yet she was right in front of him this whole time
