He and she, forever more.
His palm,
Placed playfully atop her own.
Two hands rooted,
Like a tree to the earth.
Two hands held high.
Forever growing,
Blooming, falling, and consistently changing.
These two hands,
Linked together like chains.
Eternally unbroken.
The cold air on their bare palms,
Would be far too uncomfortable.
So they remain in that place.
Heads turned,
and fingers forever intertwined.
What would you say if you saw me?
Would you just wave awkwardly or just drop your head down as if you couldn't see me?
It's been a year
We're not the same people that said goodbye last September
It almost be like meeting for the first time
There's supposed to be a history between us
But, history is facts that were once proven to be real
Our history is full of lies and fantasies
I told you a year ago, if nothing had changed
We'd just be two strangers who said goodbye with tears in their eyes a year before
Everything's changed
Idk what either one of us would say to even break the ice
Or if I'd even try
Idk what I'd have to say
Angry, confused words
Or would I be so lonesome that all I saw was who I thought used to be my best friend
And just want to put my head on your shoulder..
And just rest?
I can't answer that confidently either way
My hearts taken a beating that started with you
How ironic that a hug from you can potentially take that pain away
Even if only for a few hours
But, your heart didn't continually get stomped into the dirt as mine did
No, you had someone there taking care of you
Telling you what to do
Whether you wanted to or if it was right or wrong
You bowed your head and obeyed
That's not at all who I knew last September
So maybe I'd be the one to bow my head down this time
Whether it's what I truly wanted or not
But, if my eyes didn't meet a strangers
There's no choice of time for reflection, to suddenly stop and stare
Overwhelming feelings of someone I used to know
No accidental tears could have a chance to fall
And my heart wouldn't recognize you as comfort
It wouldn't recognize you at all

A happy home
An untroubled life
A port in a storm
Away from strife
A healthy body
An untroubled mind
A touch of skin
A love to find
A friend to trust
A lover who'll give
A moment in time
A Life to Live
I wish it all, for you

— The End —
