he will always haunt you

Jon Nakapalau

just two weeks 

from a summer long ago
i tried so hard

to show you we could spend
so many summers to come 

but i could never
give you what he gave you

in that time
so long ago

and i could not be his shadow
short in that light

that never would shine on me.

        She is now just one step to go and all will be good for her.
