A Pathway Reminds

I ran into a girl I was was in love with on the way to class and it got me thinking.

I exchange glaces with a ghost from my past.
Along a sidewalk for a second it lasts.
For that one second a summer doth flash.

The winter of my soul, so somber and sick.
The beauty of love, so lovely, so quick.

In that one glance there is a life's worth of meaning
In that one look there is a friendship retreating.

Your red hair reminds me of a time full of fire.
That all I could think about was my desire
to kiss you, to hold you, to change your cold heart.
However that changed, when my heart grew dark.

Winter did come and I sought for protection
From heartbreak, woe, sadness, depression
But wounds heal in time, Hearts do mend.
With the love of brothers, and friends.

Time passes forward, We cease discussions.
Move on with love, and you with your lusting.
Lusting for boys who long for a chase.
Until those boys give up on your pretty face.

Today I exchanged glances with a ghost.
A fragment of past, 5 seconds at most.
But in those 5 seconds, 2 seasons remembered
one of love bloomed, and one of depression.

So when you walk on sidewalks, reflect on your past
Improve the future, time doesn't last
When you feel slightly confined
Remember me on that walkway, a pathway reminds
