Shadows Of Summer

By Tony Pacheco

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

I can tell you like it better this way and everyone’s happy except for me. I can’t stop thinking about the way things should’ve been and the way things will never be, because you think we’re better as friends. At this point in my life, I’m not looking for new friends but you’re a welcome addition to any collection of mine. My efforts fell short once again but for the first time I was comfortable with myself until you said there was not future, near or distant. Did you ever feel anything for me? Or were you just lonely for the time and needed someone around to make the long summer days pass? If so, I hope you feel better, because then at least one of us got something out of this. Remember the good and don’t forget the bad, every minute with you is worth the worst and the best is better than is….. Written July 2nd, 2000 © on Nov 08 2000 03:49 AM PST   0 • 1
