Your words could have held the ground up under my feet. Although I can't recall the purpose, each one still stings. Thinking back on things now filled with regret. I wish we shared more time, something we'll never get back. Listened patiently but denial's never kind. Escaping what's believed; starting to realize. Instrumental in the shaping of a young mind; taught me everything. Something you think I'd recognize but your words still strike a chord; each one more important. Words mean all. I've got each one. More important than the last. Only here and now the past creates a camouflage to cover my wounded eyes. Mistrust mistaken. I'm apathetic only here and now the past takes a little time to pacify satifaction.
