Have you met the fading man?
You might have seen him last
In the corner of your looking glass.
His smile smudges when you pass,
Look deep again at fading man
Have you discovered who is past?
He faded all that made him man,
Too late it seems to find out who?
That fading man was always you.

Awesome! Seems I’m drawn to fading men or they’re drawn to me. Nevertheless, I remain single. Sometimes happily, sometimes not.
