Walk With Me

After I told you,

You fell through my fingers.

Fine grains of sand slipping through my hands.

 

When I looked at you I saw such care,

Such love.

Now all I see is loath.

 

You told me I was everything,

But now I’m nothing?

 

I thought you had owned my heart,

But that was a lie.

 

We are young.

Yet you don’t understand.

The ship we’re sailing is sinking.

 

I thought we could still be one,

But the ribbon holding us together has untied.

 

We can’t go back in time.

The machine bonding the future with the past,

Has shattered.

 

We can only go forward.

And I hope we can walk together.

 

You will hold her hand,

And I will hold his.

 

We will walk together.

Possibly at a different pace,

Possible to a different place.

 

I just hope that you’ll keep me close.

Maybe at a different distance,

Maybe to a different extent.

 

But I’ll keep you near.

Listen when you hear me say,

That I care.

Author's Note

It was a rough state. Always know that it gets better <3
Enjoy.

The ability to remain alive with hope and stay near those that have walked away is so important to the integrity of people nowadays. I love your words because they show that type of conviction and strength! =)
