"A Parting Of Sorts"

I figured out what I wanted

About 2 years ago.

Good Job!

Now we know where we're headed

You see I got my shit together

And packed away unnecessary baggage

Put it in a storage unit and haven't seen it since

I tucked away for my future

For me

For him

For us

But it seems that no matter how much I squeeze

To get in between

And not rip the seams

Messiness seems to find me

I'm not uncertain of my next steps

I'm sure

But when I stepped on those stones to get me pass

I realized that I've been carrying the wrong map

And I have to either stand still or retrace my tracks

I've always had my directions

Cautious of every step

But when I met you things felt right

And I didn't know you were holding my breath

And without asking I gave it to you and you left

Going through my brain looking for missed signs

Walking together, catching a bite

Bird calls to find each other when we were lost in the dead of night

You stopped looking because you stopped caring?

The trail was too hard, so you bailed

Partnership was harder and you set sail

And now I'm walking, but not walking right

Tired and dehydrated

Full of fright

Hoping that wherever you're going,

....You got there alright.
