Beginnings and Ends
my beginning was you
and when you held me
in your arms and told me
forever, in that
moment i swear the world
stopped and listened.
my beginning was you
and when you took me
by the hand and told me
to run, since then not
once did my heart stop
racing for you
my beginning was you
and when you kissed me
for the last time and said
that you were sorry
(but all good things must come
to an end), i
was torn.
because my beginning
was you, and ends are
supposed to come to good
things, wrapped in weddings
bells and kept promises
and happily
ever afters
at least like they do in
the fairytales i read.
my beginning was you
but this is not a
fairytale; you were not
a prince, and i was
not a princess
we were just two brave and
foolish teenagers
who didn't know quite get
how to say the word good-
bye
my beginning was you
my ending was you.
we just got lost somewhere
along the way.
