message in a bottle
there was a time when i would have given you everything. instead of accepting, you mired yourself in doubt, anchored with past discretions. so sure of failing, you closed up shop early and moved out of town.
how long can you sleep in that cave you created? i lost you in there, just like you lost yourself, just like you wanted.
by the time i got out, i had forgotten how to get there. i may not know everything, but i knew that anger and dissapointment aren't the best directions to follow.
so instead, i sat alone and waited for the rain to come and wash away the smell of you. and it did, eventually. the clouds cleared and offered up the moon for me to follow, so i did.
it led me away from you and to someone else. someone who isn't so angry and scared. someone who can admit it when he's wrong. someone who can make me believe in him and myself.
someone who wants everything i have.
