Would you follow me?

by hOlly   Mar 30, 2005


Day 1.
Mind altering wind gust as I stand beneath the weathered trees;
You take a walk that seems like a lifetime a walk to another beginning;
One small conversation makes you and I become a “we”,
Nothing in the world can bring me down,
The first bond is made, day 1.

Day 56.
The absences of you in my life has become too much to handle;
The presence of another becomes my comfort;
Too blinded to see, I fall;
A man has separated us and stupidly, I let him;
You and I walk in different paths, day 56.

Day 244,
Nights pass as I silently tell myself to move on;
I was at fault, it was I who hurt you;
I never though you’d feel for me again, but you did;
As the music danced through my soul you came back to me;
But in fear I ran away, day 244.

Day 246,
Two days have passed since I ran and now looking back I regret it,
The bad thing about the past…you can’t change it,
Is it the fear of you loving me that scares me?
Or the fear that I might love you more than you think.
The denial, regret, and acceptance that you are not mine any more, day 246.

Day 546,
Two years have passed and after all we have been through;
You come back to me again,
I was too naive to know that you did,
Too stupid looking for the “perfect” guy who was not even close to being perfect as you were;
Once again you and I go on our separate paths, day 546.

Day 846,
It’s been a year since we have gone our separate ways,
I still find myself looking in your direction wondering if you ever looked in mine,
But when I look at you I hardly see the same boy staring back at me,
I see a boy who was hurt too many times, I’m sorry to say I made you like this.
I see now, you were better off without me, day 846.

Day forever,
I will never forget you,
You are my first,
No one will ever replace that,
I’ll turn in my direction and walk,
If you intend to follow I’ll be happy, as long as your happy I’ll be happy,
But if we both walk our separate ways, maybe one day we will meet again.
Maybe one day we’ll meet again...day forever.

*3 years of my life had to do with either chasing, loving, or liking this one boy. don't know if i should just let it go or hold on. please comment.
