Here I Am

January 24, 2014

Here I am,

See me wait, watch me cry,

As I remember.

Here I am,

Looking on, looking over,

Looking at,

Those front steps.

We used to sit there, you and me.

Here I am,

Thinking deep, thinking hard,

Thinking of,

The ideas we shared on that street.

Here I am,

Sitting silent, sitting still,

Sitting far,

Far away from you.

Is this how it was meant to be?

Here I am,

Feeling sorry, feeling sickly,

Feeling stupid,

For falling for you.

There I was,

Seeming silly, seeming gullible,

Seeming naive,

For feeling this way.

It's okay, today is a new day.

Only what is best for us is hard to see.
