Five Years

Five Years

Year one,
We had different reasons.
We had to find out if this is what we want
Not simply what others wanted for us.

Year two,
I was hell-bent on staying
You felt it was best to leave.
On the fork in the road, we parted.

Year three,
The nights were longer.
Christmas seemed forever.
I looked at the lights to pass time.

Year four,
The powers that be
Sucked the life out me
As it breathed  life into you.

Year five,
Is it too much if I ask you to
Come back in two years,
I'll be ready for you.
