Dear unnamed boy

I remember long talks.
The hope that they gave me.
And the day I realized your everything,
I’m not.

You were strong,
You were whole.
A light when I felt like I was staring,
Into an empty black hole.

You were happy,
You were alive.
You were life when all I knew
Was death.

Then something changed.
Situations mixed, flipped,
Rearranged.

Suddenly I was alive,
You were dead.
I was breathing,
No longer stuck in my head.
But you got caught in a hole,
And you could see no light.

We went back to who we were before,
You lost and confused.
Stuck in a land of drugs and abuse.
Me healing, my thoughts clear.

And everyday I pass you.
I pray you’ll meet my eye.
I pray that if you see me,
You’ll once again see a light.
Every night I dream,
I wish upon the stars,
That you’ll wake up,
That you’ll came back,
You’ll remember who you are.

This piece was inspired by a guy I knew who helped fix my heart but lost himself while trying to find me.
