in fact, the last time we met
the opposite happened
I grew stronger, more in control
you, a distant beacon
once glowing brightly
now--dim
what little you learned of me
wouldn't fill a thimble
and every time I told you
you said hmmm, "I don't think that's true"
but it was..
not the way we connected
you said
I set a new course, one just for me
and every footstep away from you
made me more sure
after all I had thought
that my future would hold...
wasn't even close to what I got
