I began this journey alone
Strolling down life's path
Things appeared new, interesting...scary
Abundant.
I learned
To be comfortable in my journey
To be trust in myself
In my instincts.
But then I met another
Also on a journey
For a moment we walked together
Sharing what we had learned.
I smiled
Neither of us knew where we were going
Only a general direction
A direction we both partook.
Enjoying the company I got lazy
Lost
I forgot who I was
Which direction I was headed.
I stumbled
There were things in the road I didn't notice
Again
Many unforeseen obstacles emerged in my path.
It became more and more difficult to share this route
There was only room for one
We held on a moment longer
Savoring what we knew could not last.
I stopped
Looked around
I had wandered off coarse
Our journeys no longer coincided.
So we part ways
Each a little smarter
Each a little hurt
And a lot more determined.
I continue this journey alone.
