A Poem of Meanings...

If mistakes are meant to be made

I'm certian it's already been done

The race is won, but not by me

Not by you, we lost this one together



"I won't fuck this up again"

I mean it, too

"You won't fuck it up agian"

But then again, I am not you

All of our long nights

And my fist fights with myself

All of them had to do with you

And what you want me to do

With my feelings of guilt

Feelings of regret

I cannot go on

And I cannot go back



4 flights of stairs have met their match

I won't walk up them agian

Not for now

Not for a while

I refuse to go back

Not because of you

Rather because of my lack

Lack of commitment

Lack of believing

Lack of feeling

Lack of loving

You



Just let me go

See me everyday,

But I want you to know

"It's Never Like that"

Is about moving on...

And this is never like that

This is about moving on



I have a life where I know who I am

I know what I want to be

I know who I know and I know who I don't

I know where to go when I need

I know where I don't have to bleed

Not from this heart

Can't you see?

This is tearing me apart



I'm falling now

Down to the ground

But at least I have a good friend now

Gravity has found it's friend

Shoot me down

Call me out

I don't care

You can throw me away



Just be happy

With who you are

What we had

With what we are now

I know it's hard

I know it hurts

But if we don't stop

Won't it just get worse?

I'm crying now

Crying out

I want to scream

I want to shout

You don't know me

Not deep inside

You know a little

But a lot I still hide



This is the end

Of what we had, my friend

I know it's hard

Maybe tough

But if we go on

This just isn't enough

I'm not really here

I'm mile away

Another college, another place

This stay is temporary

I have huge things in mind

You'll be alright

And you'll have a good time



Don't take me wrong

I mean no harm

I want to tell you how I really feel

I loved what we had

So this makes me sad

But if it makes things better later

Then these things need to be said

I'm not really gone

Just moving on

Or starting over

Back where I left off

3 years ago

Time moves so fast

You never forget things

"Love" always lasts...

This is for one person...she knows who she is- sorry it had to end officially this way.  Your poems got me thinking hard...and this is what came of it.  Sorry

I hope someday you will be able to write a poem about what a happy and good friendship we had during college. This is my hope.
