PERFECT ROAD
It was a straight and clear path
or so it seemed to me,
paved by lovely trees and flowers
to guide my way wit their scent
that filled the lovely air around me.
I didn't need any map because it never occurred to me
that I would get lost.
How could I be lost wit u as my guide,
taking me in your hand and I letting u lead the way?
I was looking far straight ahead all the time,
never stopping to wonder
if there were any ditches or holes
where I was stepping.
I could see a beautiful place ahead;
it wasn't clearly defined but the little I saw of it
was magnificent and heavenly.
I was happy and excited.
Finally, the one dream I held so dearly all this time
was coming true
and it was time for me to let it go...
...but then I slipped and fell down.
I watched as yo guiding hand
slipped from my fingers;
I watched u continue walking down the road alone,
never stopping,
never looking back, not once.
I was scared and suddenly,
the way wasn't so clear after-all.
The road was full of ditches and holes.
The trees were not lovely anymore
but just giant monsters ganging up against me,
trying to stop me from finding you
and the air around me
didn't smell lovely any more.
Slowly, I picked myself up
and I started to walk,
not knowing where I was going
or how I was going to reach there.
I walk alone and I look straight ahead,
trying to find my way again.
I stop and look back,
just one more time
and for a moment,
I'm tempted to go back
but I can't because it won't be the same.
We are following different paths now;
yours the clear path paved with lovely flowers,
mine a twisted and undefined path
with a destination I don't know
-will never know-
but I keep walking...
or so it seemed to me,
paved by lovely trees and flowers
to guide my way wit their scent
that filled the lovely air around me.
