Junior

A Poem by Simply Me

Things arent always as you want them to be

You sit there as one year my junior
But it feels like so much more
And the gap can only widen
As we open up this door

Fate has brought me to you
As a one time only deal
And if I try to see it as more
I cannot help but feel

Our worlds are so far seperate
And our paths won't likely meet
You were mine for only a brief night
But you swept me off my feet

And we have a mutual demon
Which always will say we cannot be
The more time I think of you
The less I give to sleep

Although sleep is not what I want
Because you're already in my dreams
And you haunt my every thought
With your smiling eyes as bright as beams

I feel all of this for you
And i know its not returned
That time we spent that I saw as great
Has only caused me burns

I knew you only occasionally before
But for three weeks I flew so high
I saw a new side of you that night
And I fell out of the sky

As I held you in my arms
You showed me what it meant
To dance upon the dazzling heavens
But our perspectives were bent

And as I watched your vibrant eyes
Twinkle in the light
I saw kindness and fun in your smile
Much to my delight

I see you only in passing glances
But I wish to see you more
The last thing I want to see
Is us going back to how we were before

You sit there as one year my junior
But it feels like so much more
As I sit quietly in swirling emotions
While we close this door.
