do you remember?

do you remember what happened
last year? right now?

of course you don't.

why would you?

i was soaking in the balmy waters of hope, smiling at a hazy future that seemed too slow to start.

i turn back and look down. so much has occured, so much i have learned.
but still, i must wait for the two things i desire.

i turn my head up, towards the rest of my life. suspended on a red rope, walking skywards.

should i raise myself above my friends, and become the person i should be?
or stay just here,
right here,
with you, and be the person i want to be?

do you remember what happened last year?

maybe you do.
