hey stranger,

you've shown me how much one person can impact another's life.
there was nothing much for you to come back to last summer.
was it love? it was for me.
five thousand miles for a girl who couldn't promise you a future.
fourteen hours for the memory of a kiss.
thousands of greens for unfinished business of the heart.
eight months for a fortnight of uncertainty.

young blood.
rushing in.
foolish, much?
it could have been awkward.
things could have changed.
expectations could have ruined reality.
what if. what if. what if.

but for fourteen days,
a miracle.
every second was perfection.
thank you for taking the risk.

I'm volatile. I'm trouble. I'm a child.
our careless ways have done their damage.
the way we knew they would.
our shadows haunt each other
the way they always did.

but now
you've found your ground.
I'm still drifting.
you've found your future.
I'm still experimenting.
what we had was a moment.
and moments pass.

it is your time.
there were enough obstacles.
that last one - the heart of another.
that drew the line.

it is your time.
so, go along now.
far away.
one day, we'll talk.
not today.
go along now.
far away.

because you should.
because you're no longer mine.
because the thought of your gaze, hurts.
because its agony to watch a happiness I used to have.
because I wanna protect my heart from you.

I used to be independent.
leave me be,
I need to find myself.

one day we'll talk.
not today.
