As I Follow

As I follow in your footsteps

I find myself surrounded

By thoughts of all that might’ve been

Had life played out the way I planned

But plans were never meant to follow

Dreams too soon went unfulfilled

Lost in possibility

That couldn’t ever truly be

And now as all I held so close

Falls right from my outstretched hands

I wonder how it was you felt

When it all went down for you

It likely didn’t bother you

You didn’t like it anyway

But it was all that I had left

And now it’s likely gone as well

One more thing we have in common

As if that matters anymore

It’s all lost to time long gone

And though I find myself behind you

Our paths won’t likely cross again

I’ll find somewhere else to wander

Struck by the coincidence

That tied us back together briefly

Though you’ll never even know
