Darkness
I shifted slightly in my chair,
The house was gloomy, misty, black
Dropped the book and looked around
I couldn’t tell you
how long it had been like that
I got up slowly and looked around
The floor creaked as I walked across
Reaching the carpet my feet made no
sound
I stood alone and at a loss
It was over, the light was gone
I’d been too distracted to come to grips
I’d been so used to it for so long
I focused blindly as my soul eclipsed
I stumbled through every room
Turning on every light
But I couldn’t get rid of the oppressive
gloom
Everything still remained as dark as
my sight
In panic, I frantically ran
Thundering through coffee tables
that weren’t there
My body ached but felt no pain
And battered I sank in despair
How long I lay there,
if you only knew
After a long while in the distance
was a fainter sound
A hollow, solo train whistle blew
And slowly I began to come around
I gradually walked to the window
My mind slowly adjusted to the
light
I held my arms up in vain
To shield my
soul from the sight
The scene opened up before me
And the darkness behind me grew
dim
As I began to gaze about in wonderment
The world shifted to be less
grim
A tiny firefly lightened on my hand
A field of them opened up in chorus
A warm breeze tousled my hair
And a cacophony of stars sang
above the forest
Suddenly you’re with me once again
Though so far away, near me
once more
The light you give me constantly
Breaching once again
on my shores.

Did you ever lose a love you knew you never had? If you had said one thing more, shrugged off one more layer of shyness, grew slightly more bold and told them how you felt,
It could have been different?
For me, it was different. She liked me. I knew it. She told me we would never stop being friends. I felt it. She kiseed me on the cheek, and dissapeared.
I often worry about her, I wonder if she's alright. She knew we would never hit off, and I knew it too, though it seemed we fit so well. But she encouraged me to be brave, to live past my own insecurities and to live for who I am. It is that encouragement that never dies. She helped me, she taught me to be a friend.
Her name was Nikki, I last saw her in the spring of 2000. She was one of my greatest friends.
