^{I started calling you Superman when
we were still adjusting to the "teenage" title.

Turns out we acted older back then
in January 2009.

And fifteen was too young in my household.
Too young for what we went through.

It was and wasn't.

Superman.

You know I still call you that behind your back, right?
You know I still use the nickname when your true
character is too much to put on my tongue?
You know I still can't look at you? Know
I still want to cry when I do it?

Superman.

God, you were so good, too. So good.
Nobody hurt as much as you did,
and nobody loved like you could.

They call me kryptonite now,
Superman,
I'd wager you do, too.

Was it me who made you weak?
Was it me or the love?
Or the drink?
The drugs?
The pain?

Superman.

Even you weren't invincible.

But man did you seem like it back
in January 2009.}
