Its presence in my life is like a shadow.
Dark and unseen by my eyes.
What I long for seems harder,
to grasp every step i take.
It is as a faint reflection,
fading from my memory.
I flow farther away as I paddle,
down this stream called life,
and find it hard to go back up,
to that ever fading checkpoint.
No one I hold dear seems to feel the same.
This is what I long for,
but it comes to me not.
It evades me like I no longer belong.
I envy others that are happy,
and oppose others that feel the same as me.
I will never see that checkpoint,
because for one to reach it
Love must be a two way street.
The two will help each other paddle,
to that checkpoint and remain there.
But I, I will continue,
to drift alone through the stream of life,
with no one but myself,
as the checkpoint fades from my life forever,
never for me to see again.
