In the distance
I could see a figure moving
Anxiously wanting
To approach me

In the distance
The figure glanced over its shoulder
For a brief second
To marvel at me

In the distance
The misty shadow dissolved
Into the past
Never reappearing

In the distance
The path petered out
Stretching its arms and
Returning no more

OH, hi, this poem may seem a little strange at the start. But just a hint, I am the one who 'anxiously wanting to approach' the person. So the 'me' is actually myself. ^_^

Very "deep" jiao.  I like this a lot, makes one think.  I can really relate to this.

Beautiful again..    I hope to keep seeing you post in here.

 MAY THE ROAD RISE TO MEET YOU,
MAY THE WIND BE ALWAYS AT YOUR BACK
MAY THE SUN SHINE UPON YOUR FACE
THE RAINS FALL SOFT UPON YOUR FIELDS
AND, UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN,
MAY GOD HOLD YOU IN THE PALM OF HIS HAND
