that you have
been used to,
is difficult.
someone you have
cared for,
and cared for you
in return.
someone who
raised you
to be the good man
you are now.
but it is more difficult
to choose
the next person
to fill in the shoe
that your good master left.
and for you,
is it worth
to trust that someone,
that you just met
loitering in the dark?
