Did I try enough?
Did I even bother?
I ask myself.
After all I put myself through, to change the inevitable,
I realized in the end, the inevitable is indeed the inevitable.
I reached for your hand as you plunged into a world of chaos
and uncertainty,
And you are now lost within its winding mess.
I stared at you as you fell,
And the thought of me failing you crept in,
and in.
Until my body could take no more.
I had hoped with all my heart, that you would not change,
I thought, 'No it cannot', but it did.
You shifted, you changed, and it slapped me square in the face.
We are now too different, too far away to ever understand one another.
Had I really tried so hard?
I suppose so.
I look at it now, and I do not know what to expect.
That negative aura around you grows at constant rate that even I
cannot comprehend.
And you expect me to smile and wave to you,
As if nothing happened?
Of course I won't, of course, I can't.
With all my heart I wish it had not happened,
But it was the inevitable.
I’ve accepted it, slowly but surely.
But I wonder, what now?
What of you,
what of us?
What is the next shift,
the next change?
Or Is there even another for you?
