The mentality of a man.

We are all made equal. Yet molded by experence. Changed by our environment.

We all want a mate. To pass on our name. We are egotistical.

But someone can change us. A special event. Call it love.

We have two choices. Keep. Lose.

But To me it's different. Have. Have taken.

We see life. We see her. Then we see our life.

I had her taken. Not by choice. Tried almost 5 years.

But she was taken.

Not by life. Not by death. But him.

We are jealous. Its a instinct. One by nature.

We take theft as a sign of war. Our egos kicks in. Jealously kicks in. Pain kicks in. Anger kicks in.

So we speed home. We tell ourselves what we must. We tell others it doesn't matter. She tells me we never mattered.

He matters. She matters. I matter.

The mentality of a man. Simple. Yet complex. With turns. Curves. And stop signs. With hers. With hims. With jealously. The mentality of a man. Or maybe a Boy.
