Of Silver and Gold

…I'm strong on the surface, not all the way through. I've never been perfect, but neither have you…

That sums it up pretty well, where we are right now. I want to be happy for him so much, but I can't. I want to be the perfect best friend for him, but I'm not. I want to be able to enjoy his happiness, he is finally getting somewhere in his career, but my lack of direction only makes angry with him.

I guess anyways being the lesser half of the 'world's greatest' tag team has made me just a bit bitter. He has two WWE Tag team title reigns and three Intercontinental title reigns to his name, both tag team title reigns were with me I might add where I only have three WWE Tag team title reigns, two with him and one when I was in a pathetic joke of tag team after he got drafted.

Despite all this, he still treats like we're equal, like I actually have a chance to be something. While I am touched by his faith I mostly think he's mad because I know I have no chance at ever becoming anything, it's far too late.

… Pretending, someone else can come and save me from myself. I can't be who you are… I can't be who you are.

I can't be the best like he is; I guess I'll just always be the silver to his gold standard, just like it's always been.


Gold needs Silver

I wish I could tell him how well silver and gold really go together. That I still care for him, that I have nothing but the utmost respect for him. At the same time, I would let him know I'm not stupid; I know he gets jealous and a little bit bitter but I don't blame him, if I was him and he was me; I'd be a little pissed off too.

I've not always been the best man and friend for you, but your love remains true and I don't know why; you always seem to give me another try.

I've not always been the perfect friend to him, I wish I could be a better friend; but at the same time, this is as close to my dream as I can get, I never have another chance at this.

Be careful what you wish for, cause you just might get it all. You just might get it all and then some you don't want…

I want to be the best I can be, I want to one day hold a world title, but I don't want to alienate my friend, he means so much to me: we debuted together, we've won the WWE Tag team titles twice, we've done so much I can't stand seeing him sad about this.

I guess being the gold standard isn't all he thinks it's cracked up to be.
