The Secret Admirer

Time never favors the young.
Nor was I ever born with courage.
But memory is the only thing that holds true.
Could it have been,
that over seven years have passed,
since the day that the light of the heart,
had shone down upon you?

Over time I have watched you.
Through the school days I looked upon you.
Your actions and choices changed your exterior,
but your soul and personality were left untouched.
I see the girl of days before,
when I look inside you.
You are and will be forever special.

Why must I say it now?
Why save it 'til now?
For as time passes,
memories will be forgotten.
I know I will never forget you,
and I feel it is best to be known.
My feelings.

I know this might not change anything now,
and it may not change how you feel in the future.
Whether you like or dislike who I am,
I believe it is important to truly know what I felt.
Do not tell me what I need to hear.
Tell me what you need to say.
Ten years will go by and I will always be...

Washboard Blues

My favourite saying of late Is that I wanna cry. The world has been crumbling around The people The state of affairs The disbelief. I say the words Jokingly But there's a piece of me That would kindly accept A tear... Or two. There have been more days Than less That I could use a reset button. I would start it all again, There are times where I regret Everything. If I wanted to live with no regrets I probably could have done more I probably could have said more I should have meant more. Morbidity Mortality Time... All things weighing me down. There's this sudden end It's coming soon Sooner for some Not soon enough for others But it's coming. If I was to go right now Away Gone Left it all behind... I don't want anyone to think of me After the fact. I don't think many will Some might A passing glance Something to do But I'll be gone Somewhere more To where I'm supposed to be. Africa Asia Europe Or Beyond. I haven't quite decided Yet But I will.

Snowy Interval

Our winter is right around the corner And the thought takes me back To when we found ourselves Last time around In the coldest of days. Even in those harshest of elements In the coldest of all the months I couldn't feel the chill Because between your smile and your words They were the best of days. And just like the unpredictable Alberta weather The storms rolled in I tried to stand my ground Withstand the worst of what it could throw Until I found the peace to know the storm was me. The summer months were devastating The air was dry The sun was unrelenting It was a record year But the chill in the empty hole was all I knew. The leaves have been falling awhile The mind wanders when unchecked Smelling the weather changing Has the heart reeling For another one of those great snowy intervals.

Not Yet

I'm trying to resist It shouldn't really happen I don't even know for sure. It's a good thing Not knowing keeps me from falling Too far from too much.
