When The Wind Blew Us Away

Though our paths crossed,
we may walk past each other.
Almost like two strangers on a road,
we had the opportunity to know each other.

But we're all busy,
chasing after our sweetest dreams and desires.

Maybe if we all slowed down and looked at the things around us;
the brisk Autumn air,
the azure-painted sky,
and the people who love us.

But like that dove,
you flew away from me.
And like that blinding light,
you mocked me.

The air subtly blew us away from each other,
making you walk faster.
Faster, faster.
Never looking back...

I couldn't grasp your shadow.
Your steps; swift and silent,
as if you wanted to leave immediately.

You left me standing there.
When our paths crossed,
we could never stay with each other for long.

The author's comments:
I just want to dedicate this to someone I love/loved. Because he found out I liked him, he withdrew and our friendship collapsed. I'm sorry...

And this was inspired a little by him too, plus the weather is getting cooler and going into Fall.

Really cool. Yes, your stanzas are well done, and the ending was really pretty, as well as the fourth stanza thinger.

Hey Carolyn! Uhm, idk you but my friend does! She told me to read your pieces... and to tell you the truth, I'm a very VERY picky reader when it comes to poetry... But I must say, I really do love your poem! It's beautifully written in every way... and the guy who you wrote it for, is very lucky to have someone like you loving them ;) 5 stars! Wonderfully done dear
