We were dancing the night away
   as my first real taste of alcohol
   made my head light...
   or was it just you?

"Am I in too deep.. have I lost my mind?"
   Enrique sang.. and Elvis sang...
   "And I can't help, falling in love with you..."

It was a spark which caught
   much too fast...
   Moments where eye contact
   spoke more than words ever could
   and ever will

I remember water ceasing a drought,
   as love, friendship and poetry
   replaced the hurt
   which had been flowing through my veins
   for many months.

But now I sit here in front of a computer,
   without eye contact to express how I feel,
   no tone of voice to soften typewritten words...

So much time has passed by
   and the chasm between what used to be,
   what should be,
   and what is;
   makes my heart bleed
   and occupies many sleepless nights...

The best things in life
   turned into the worst things in life
   I know it's my fault;

And I know how things seem on the outside:
   hypocritical.. change... that I don't care,
   that I am someone else

But I'm not.
   On the inside, I'm the same person
   who stood on a cliff with you,
   and watched the full moon rise and the sun set
   at the same time.

I beat myself up,
   and wish time was on my side;
   I don't expect you to understand,
   or forgive me...

Just know that I'm sorry,
   and in my heart and mind
   you and I will always be
   the way we were when...

We were dancing the night away
   as my first real taste of alcohol
   made my head light...
   Or was it just you?

The soul would have no rainbows, had the eyes no tears.

I love the way you said you were sorry, even though I'll bet it wasn't necessary.
Your words flow with such honest gentleness how could he not be consoled?

Great write as usual. I'd like to write something reassuring and poignant but typewritten words are all i have to offer. See my poetry and many others here and realize you're not alone though, many have gone through this or are still in it's grasp. Release yourself from blame.
