When I was six, I recall seeing a young, feeble bird that had fallen out of a tree. I do not remember the color, the clothing I wore, or why I did it. I made a beeline for your place; you were kind. Maybe this is why we are wary of consequences. I know the weather that day was bright. Like my personality and aura. How do you feel knowing I am no longer the person I was? Not because I have matured, but because I am too afraid to meet my younger self. In your memories, what kind of child was I? Do you remember? Do you choose to not? Or maybe, you really have forgotten. I sometimes wonder if things are different now, but I still can't face her. Maybe I am not strong enough yet. I want her to know I am moving on without her being a burden. It's cruel, but there is not enough love in my heart. I'm sorry.

From Then, to Now

Not a poem. A vague, simple story. Just something I want to write. For my own sake. (part 1 of 2).
