Amazing (1-28-05)

I knew you, I knew your world

I understood the shapes and swirls

I found you there, crying.

Weeping over something that

Only someone who has been through

The same thing

Could understand

I had to help you

It was the right thing to do

I saw everything coming

I saw your very future.

I knew I could help you

And tried as I might

As I was doing so

I realized…

We were perfect for each other

Both poets and crushed

Both happy and shy

Both without a first time

Did I really pull you from your adventurous mountain?

Was it really just within a few weeks?

Did I really take your fantasies away,

For my own selfish greed?

And have I restricted myself from my love of poetry writing

Because now there is no more reason to?
