A different you…

I forgot I didn’t know you
That I knew you
But I no longer know you

I forgot how old you are
And how old I need to think
Regardless of how young I feel
In loving you

I forgot your coldness
How the darkness inside you
Can turn your brown eyes black

I forgot that it takes two
That you are a gentleman
in the coming of adversity
and selfishly coldhearted
when the storm settles in

But in forgetting us
and forgetting you
I remembered me
And all the pieces I knew to be you
Useless in function without you
I remembered originally belonged to me

It’s too bad that you forgot
What it took to be us
What it meant to be us
and I will no longer remind you

Again

My Then is sometimes so distant
My Now never here for long
My From Here To Eternity just a mirage my heart paints
And so I run track
On my life’s timeline
Doing suicides from the 16 yr old me
To the 30 yr old me
Out of shape so I’m out of breath
Sweating my fears my worries
Drowning in my perspiration
Dehydrated from my losses
I should be resting in my now
That’s where you are
Scattered in my past
Sometimes I run by you
Phantom images in my future
Sometimes I’m running with you
Other times I run from you
In sprinting back and forth
I have lost my now with you
And I want it back
So I’ve decided to sit in my present
To find you again
To walk with you
Again
