Preventative sadness, min-maxing suffering

I once was a man who was often sad, I cried each time I met someone new.

So that when a friend left my life, my cry was already sung.

I was free to love, attachments released, my friends were already dead.

Notes

Min-maxing is the character-building strategy of maximizing a specific desirable ability, skill, or other power of a character and minimizing everything else, seen as undesirable. The result is a character who is excessively powerful in one particular way, but exceedingly weak in others.
