there was a boy
about 16
he found the love of his life
or so he had thought
there was a boy
about 20
she left him to die
on a sleeting february night
walking the barberton street
a year later
there was another boy
in the same body
21
who made two decisions
to love
and to serve
there was a girl
age 18
who met the boy
far away from her
she was him
they talked
they played
but he had to leave for a little bit
a little bit turned to a long bit
he saw her struggle
he kept trying
it didnt work
he kept waiting
he kept waiting
he kept waiting
he kept waiting
she appeared
he made his move
she took him back!
she made her choice
he'd made his
____________________________
there might be more
than a mile or two
from here to there
but really
its only the distance from his camera
that keeps him in focus,
right?
