[ Stumbling down this, A touch on the shoulder, ]

Stumbling down this,                        A touch on the shoulder,
tree strewn path.                            a hug here and there.
Looking for,                                    With a smile,
nothing.                                          You promised me it all.

A wisp of wind brings,                      You knew all that I did and,
a whisper.                                        all that I regretted.
Louder, louder still,                          When I wasn't ready,
the voice grows.                              You said you would always be there.

Off the path now,                              Someone new came along,
a branch snaps.                                  I became a memory.
Side-stepping in order to avoid,          But to me you were my air,
a cliff's edge.                                    you were my sustenance.

Running in circles,                              A glance from you and,
you trip.                                            I was forced to turn away.
Falling onto a rock,                            A kiss from you and,
you went unconscious.                        My heart would freeze.

[A boy, met a girl.                              A dusting of cherished, memories?
Months on end they were,                  was all that was left to exist in my heart.
acquaintances.                                  Without a second thought,
The wishes ran wild.                          you stole my dream.]
