fool

we were kids -

young and carefree

biking down the street

every winter a snowball fight

with the rest of the neighborhood

hanging out in the woods

in our secret spot

watching the sunrise together

our first kiss

I thought it would last forever

I was a fool

you left without looking back

without a word you left

to explore the world

and I stayed

too scared to go with you

too scared to hold on to you

now I'm still here with everyone else

still broken

still hurt

still waiting for you

maybe you're still the same

maybe we will be together again

but I'm probably still a fool
