Seattle Something

who really knows [about me]

A new distraction for a busy twenty-something Seattleite. Think of this as the Seinfeld of blogs.
PLEASE NOTE: The only rule of this blog is that if you know me, do not reveal my true identity. I can do it myself.

Well, goodbye

How dare you request my friendship.
Ask and not receive?
The friend you’ve never known,
you know I would be to you.
But I have not the energy.
As you let go, you reached out.
With that same motion,
hold me at arms length.

While before I saw the man in you,
I now see the other side.
The man is but a boy;
afraid, unsure, and crying out.
You don’t come crying to me.
You sit alone in your corner,
cowering and helpless;
refusing an out-stretched hand.
I wish you would let me in
but I can only watch at a distance.

Well, goodbye distance.
For distance only exists
if there are two points.
And now there is one.
I can watch no longer.
I can wait no longer.
My mind makes me angry,
demanding my heart.
But it is time.

You made me laugh the most.
I have never cried so hard.

Farewell sweet boy—
may you grow up to be the man I knew.
