Literature Text

I want to run away with you. Just you.

Forever.


I'll never forget that look of hope in your eyes,
The feel of strength in your hands,
And that promise of forever in your words.

I only wish I could forget my answer.

We can't. You know how much I want to.

But… We just can't.
And then you were gone.

It kills me to remember this conversation. I'm analytical and I rely on logic. My head told me it was a bad idea. But my heart was hammering Yes. Go. Run, run, run, runrunrunrunrun! It's the one time that logic has failed me so completely. I'll always, always wonder if I made the right decision.

I'll always wonder if I could have saved her.

Or if I would have been condemning us both, instead.

I know exactly how this feels. I'm logical too. Where you want to run away, be free, but the world's holding you down with responsibilities and thoughts of what would happen tomorrow. In the end it wasn't a choice of wrong or right, but of following your heart and following your brain. A choice of futures. The "what-ifs" follow you along forever. This poem struck a little too close to home for me. Because I've been through the same thing as well.
