Bonus Chapter

His gaze met mine,
soul to soul, eye to eye.
His intensity with clear intent.

I remembered the younger years,
The days of my youth,
vivid between the fine lines on my cheeks,
forcing a smile.

Lips just bearing teeth,
completely insincere.
I was cold,
unfeeling,
unaware.

This boy no longer had the sway upon me
that he used to bare.

I don't know him,
my mind forces me to say.

But I did in fact.
I knew him all too well.

His past, his passion, his dreams...
what they were,
not what they are now.

As it was,
in his eyes, I could only see —
his tortured soul,
consumed by so many fears.

The face looking back at mine,
was but a face...
worn by the hands of time.

The remnant —
of the boy he used to be,
not the man he is now.

Oh how the years come and go,
people change and they grow.

One minute you're frolicking,
the next —
you wished time would slow.

Like with the wind,
you either blow...
in the direction, it urges you to follow —
Or seek your own direction,
For one must choose their own path.

Choosing mine,
I chose not to say hello.

Within my heart,
I said goodbye —
to the boy, I used to know.
