Drift

The nights, the traveled shared. the souvenir of you, in

a distant past. made us closer. the creative spring,

brought us closer. just like a brother. I never feared

the threat of time. and I never guessed

that we would drift so far apart. your support, your

presence, your ear, trough some of our darkest times. why

didn't you reach me? when the burden of your sorrow was

weighting you down? I neglected the alert given by your

gentle retreat. how could I have slowed you down? when

the events were only disguised under an excuse for a life

becoming over busy. it seemed so natural, no reason to

look for an under lying ground. why didn't you reach me?

when you couldn't bare the discomfort, the lasting

lightless thoughts. your everyday might not be what your

heart screams for. did you sacrifice your dreams for

others wellness? just like a brother, i never feared the

threat of time. and I never guessed that we would drift

so far apart. I can't conceive you point at me as a

threat. I would be an obstruction in your pursuit of

happiness, I would? around my modest table, an empty

chair, waiting for you. I will remain patient, I will

keep waiting.
