who we have become

it was not you
it was the idea of you
my idea of you
the promise of you

and now
knowing this space between us
i am reminded of
of the simple fact
that
where we were
where we were going
and inevitably
the people we where going to become
are all that need now be addressed

apart, alike, away and amused
i must seem
at the light hearted
heart breaking
separation of it all

i see a small girl
frozen in yet another
undesirable yet utterly amazing situation

that is where you left me and now dear
this is where i am

swear to me
this is who we have become?
and promise i will choose to
adapt to, accept and abolish
in that order alone
this daunting reality
waiting at my feet
