When all the fun was over,
After a thousand hugs and teary goodbyes,
We departed from the wilderness,
And returned to our lives.
Sitting here in the cold morning air,
I can’t help but think of those wonderful memories,
And what I always seem to forget
Is that it was only yesterday.
It brings a smile to my face,
When I remember your kindness,
And now I can only promise,
“I will always remember you.”
And as I return home, the fears,
The fears I’d shooed away return.
I’m scared. So, so scared.
Scared of myself, and of what I might do.
But what all of you taught me,
Is that fear itself is the source of weakness.
Here I stand on the precipice of desire,
And one step forward will bring me plummeting to my death.
So I remember your words,
I remember that life only we shared together.
Laughing in scorn at that terrible precipice,
I turn away from the abyss of my existence.
It doesn’t matter how much it pokes and prods me,
Because I will break free of my shackles,
Marching into a foggy future,
Becoming brighter and brighter with every step.
So even now as all the fun is over,
I remember what you shared with me,
The tears, the laughter, the adventures,
So I promise not to let the fun be over yet.
