Until Another Time

Reminiscing

By Chris JacquesPublished 4 years ago 2 min read

It was not the throwing around and catching some things.

Nor the conversations when we would disagree.

Just that the time we had felt so short

and my heart feels like its going to burst

But these questions in my head, I can't stop wondering.

If you look at me, would you be proud of who I am?

Scars are meant to heal so I know my life is not a scam.

If you could still be here would you love me just the same,

So I don't feel like I'm to blame

for not saying I love you before it was to late.

Maybe this could be just a temporary Goodbye,

Until another time.

It was not the timeouts, or how we did things in reverse.

Sometimes you'd swear and I'd learn from it

It wasn't the fact that you made me so high

throwing me into the air, I felt like I could fly.

But now you are the one in the sky,

as if answering all the questions trapped in my mind:

If you see me smile, would it be as bright as yours?

I need to be the person you once were,

not just in the heart but stronger than before.

I know our time was too short

So maybe this is our last goodbye,

Until Another Time.

And when I cry, I'll write a letter for you

Tie it to a balloon and watch it fly to the moon.

And when I walk by your grey, with roses on the floor

And words saying just who you were.

I'm sorry I didn't know you to well before

But I'll place these roses down until they are placed for me,

Until Another Time

If you could look at me now, I know you'd be proud of who I am.

Scars are meant to heal, and my life is not a scam.

If you could be here, my life wouldn't be the same

Because I know I won't be the one to blame

For not saying I Love You before it was too late.

That second chance is all it would take

for me to give you what I couldn't before.

When I see you again, we both won't be in our black suits.

Just our open arms and halos, looking down at my children,

the ones who will think the same.

That "Maybe this could be our last goodbye

Until Another Time."
