So Far Away

Just some feelings.

Is it worth it to try?
Or am I on a useless quest.
If jumping from planes has taught me one thing,
It's that nothing is truly impossible.
If practicing parkour gave me any wisdom,
It's that no obstacle is truly impassible.
Yet after three years of chasing you,
I've pushed less than a few steps.
No matter how great my patience,
You seem still so far from my open arms.
The lessons I've learned
Forbid me from giving up.

But now,
I wonder,
Is that what I should be doing?
Are my efforts futile?
Will I be forever chasing
The one thing I just can't have?

Maybe.

But why should I give up?
Even if I end in disaster,
It would make an inspiring tragedy.
And how could I betray myself?
My heart so full of lust for your soul.
So I will continue to walk this treadmill.
Because I just can't give you up.

Author's Note

Don't bother asking. Yes, I've been skydiving, multiple times in fact. And yes, I have tried to learn Parkour, which is the discipline of running over, around, or straight through any obstacle. (Video: http://youtu.be/SMppD-bUNWo)

Good thing are hard to get and worthwhile if you can. I tell people. Reach for nothing. That is what you will get back. I like the desire of this poem. The easy things in life are worth little later. Those goals and people we want are the things and dreams we will need to have late in a life to make us smile when we remember. Thank you for a excellent poem.

I definitely know how this feels. Even though the guy was a total jerk to me and said horrible things, I still kept wanting him. Finally, I found someone amazing and forgot about that loser. Buuuut obviously this girl isn't like that, and I hope one day it works out for you. (:
