I wish I could run backwards, grasping past time. Rewind time, back to it’s birth. Breathe it in. Couldn’t we just stay a while in the pages before this chapter began. Hold my hand and tell me everything will be okay. Look me in the eyes, oceans collide. I see the sea in your deep blue wading pool for eyes. Can’t we just exist in the same time and place in the same spectrum? I wish things were different. For a while it felt like ying and yang; we balanced each other in my mind. It’s all just a game isn’t it? A mind game slowly lying to me, causing me to believe it could have been more, could have meant more. What’s the truth anyway? My heart is deceiving me. I’m stuck. I’m trapped in the memories of yesterday. They echo louder and louder; it’s hard to hear. Can’t we just stay a while? Two lives intersect, yet our roads divide. Could we dance together one more time? Just hold my hand, even if it’s just pretend. I miss you when you’re here more than I miss you when you’re gone. You’re a solid ghost, a constant reminder of the skeleton of memories past. I’m a hopeless romantic, and you believe true love will never last. You don’t even believe in it, even if it were staring at you eye to eye. Do you think of me, like I think of you? Somehow I doubt you do. I’m on an island on my own miles and miles from your coast. I used to feel strong as steel, but now I just feel invisible. Do you see me? Maybe I’m your ghost too, nothing more than a shrinking violet these days. The heart wants what the heart wants, and it’s greedy for more. I wish I knew what went on in that head of yours, because you always leave me grasping for more. Where are you? Where did you go? I miss my best friend.
