The other road
by
Sherene Delgado
When I look at you I see the past
All the times we were there for each other
All the times where we wanted to kill one another
Memories. Good or bad that I would never change
I see us laughing
I see us fighting
All the while stilling loving one another
Loving each other enough to be honest with our feelings
Knowing you would not think less of me
You knowing the same goes for you
As the time past us by
Our childhood became a distant memory
We grew up together
We changed together
Though each in our own way
Those changes prepared us for the future
I had always understood that one day we both would go down our own path
Where that road would lead to, neither of us knows
But deep within, we know the other will be there waiting in the underbrush
Waiting incase the other needed a helping hand
There have been times where the path I have taken became a dark one
Where I had been lost within
Not knowing where I am
Nor where I was going
Then somewhere in the underbrush a hand arose leading me to clarity
You have always been my sanity
Whether you knew it or not
As you go down your path in life I send these word with you
Never sell yourself short
Never doubt your importance
For the smallest gesture can impact someone’s life forever
And if ever in need.... Remember. I'm behind the tree.
