Behind

When life leaves you high and dry

I’ll be at your door tonight

If you need help, if you need help

Gone Gone Gone, Phillips Phillips

Change is scary.

You leave.  

I leave.

Everything changes.

Why?

Why?

You were scared.

They must hate me.

You needed an escape.

What if everyone else leaves too?

You didn’t mean to leave them behind.  

I try to find people.

You regret everything. 

To look for someone who understands.

They were your world.  

They were the only one.

Now they hate you.  

I wish…

You wish…

A stumble. A bump.

You and I are reduced to staring.

Simultaneously, “I’m sorry!”

Fear.  We wish it wasn’t there.  

How could we be so lost?

Collapsed worlds.  Whispered Apologies.

We found our friend, and they’re all that matters.

Together.  Again.  

And always.

I know you’ve been lost, so I’m glad you got found

Cross My Mind, Twin Forks
