Jake's Monologue

If I were a painter, I would brush the canvas with lush colors in attempt to express my joy.
If I were a musician, I would create the most sublime piece to celebrate your presence in my life.
If I were a poet, I would never stop writing, for you would be my muse, my inspiration.

But you see, I am not an artistic man.

I wish I were knowledgeable so that I could fulfill your curiosity by answering all your questions.
I wish I traveled often, and be able to fascinate you with my trips and stories.
I wish I had lived an interesting life. But my life has been so grey until you came along.

The truth is, I am only an ordinary man. Perhaps the most ordinary man you've ever met.

I want to be stronger to protect you from any harm, and funnier to make you laugh. And you ought to know that your laugh is the most precious to me.

Because of you, I desperately want to be a better man. Yet I can only soak in despise for being none of what I wish to be.
