Heart of Steel

In My Notes (3/7/24)

"Forgiveness is a powerful thing"

My friend

Old friend

You said so yourself

Yet I find myself so lost

Lost in those eyes

Just a fleeting thought

Because of those stranger's eyes

I fail to remove myself from this feeling

Everyday I learn something new

Lost in those eyes

These thoughts are something powerful

Every time I see

That stranger

I ask you where you're from

They all know we're talking

Their silence

Our words

All that I heard was my heart skip a beat

Lost in what I thought I knew

In times where we laugh until we cry

Our smiles and gazes meet

I see something knew

Every time I look

At that stranger

At you

Within me

I ask you where you're from

If you ever knew my mom

My family and my legacy

I doubt you do

Because you're just as young

You're about to go away

Another time

Another day

I'd hate to see you end up that way

If I could embrace

If I could shine

If only I could buy you and I more time

But she isn't me

And I know we both should lie separately

Forgiveness

When you're older

It's different

Day by day

Night lights and memories

As time fades away

From one's grasp

When you're older

What happens now?

Where do we go from here?

Where did we leave off?

I write every word

Every time

With no regrets

If we left so bitter and incomplete

Where do we go now?

What happened to forever?

Why return to each other?

In my notes I wrote every word I heard today

With undertones of those eyes

That meet mine every time

I look up

A friend

Old friend

I hope you forgive me

For these fleeting feelings

And lost thoughts

Because sometimes I think of you

On days like these

And I think I like you

A lot.
