at times i feel that my mind
has grown up faster than my circumstance
~
i don’t want to have outgrown you
i dont want to have come to the end of the page
~
i don’t think we are growing together as much as we are bumping into each other along the turbulent way up to space in a rocketship,
our trajectories together until we break out of the atmosphere
and then, no one really knows
~
i want to explore this wide open space of life
and maybe the only reason i need you is to have a place to come home
a relative to my changes,
a baseline
~
we should be able to get off this ride
when we want to, when it’s over
but i guess it
just
keeps
going
and part of me knows that the journey would be no different
had i started it with someone else by my side.
there is only so long you can stay wrapped up in a person
before the wool falls off your eyes
and your own self demands more from you than they ever could
~
so, this has been fun,
but, i have places i am trying to go
and i don’t think it makes sense for you to try to come along.
you’re on your own journey
and i’m sure we’ll meet up in a space cafe somewhere
to exchange stories and give nods of encouragement
before pushing off again
into our space
