Small Town, Somewhere

As you left me laying there,
Tears filled my eyes
Reminders that what is
Wasn't going to last.
So quickly to stop the flow,
I ran to the bathroom.
With cold water splashing on my face,
You found me, asking softly,
"Are you okay?"
Swallowing past a lump,
I reply I'm fine
And try to edge past you.
But stopping me, with a small hug,
You ask again, concern in your eyes,
"Are you okay?"
Yes, desperate to get past,
The knowing look you gave me
I reply and slip through a small opening.
"Then why the water on your face?"
I shrug, say I was hot.
Then turn around and grab a blanket,
Trying to end the chills deep inside.
Raising an eyebrow, you say,
"I thought you were hot?"
Blushing, and looking away,
I mumble some excuse.
Not daring to say the truth...
That even as I build my dreams today,
Tomorrow is sneaking in,
Slowly taking them away.

With a little piece of tomorrow,
You'll have to kiss yesterday goodbye.
Because today won't last forever,
And the past will only make you cry.

the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost

Yeah it was heart felt and very true. I like the way it was expressed.

Words flow heavily,
A carbon copy of my heart,
As well as my soul.
