It started out with
High expectations
Of what was to come
Months of planning
About to come to an end
25 days of blessed memories
Pushed into the past
8 more expected to follow
Should have guessed,
It was too much to ask
Bus rides lasting eternity
This was supposed to be for us
Wishing you paid more attention
Bach when it was still easy
Daily rituals of avoidance
Turned to regrets
From regularly scheduled fights
To scratching off days on the calendar
Counting the days since the last meeting
Fearing the nights
When no one is around to protect
Always left standing alone
To fend for yourself
Trying to act strong
So others won't notice
The walls breaking
As all weakness starts to show
You taught me to hide
And to run away
I lead by example
Because I know nothing else
I can't ask for help
From those who can
It's much less than pride
Simply put,
I just don't know how
