Seven Years

Today,

Seven years from now,

If and when

You see me standing

Across the road from you,

Will you have the courage to

Tap me on the shoulder?

Would you have prepared yourself to see

The swelling pain in my eyes

And tell me

How you let me

Pass you by?

Could you then

Finally understand why

You never really apologised

All this time?

 

On this day,

Seven years down the road,

Although we would have paced

Parallel paths

And skewed streets

To get to where

We thought we wanted to be,

I’m unsure if

You would see what I see.

 

Today,

Seven years from now,

I hope you’ll find me

And when our eyes meet,

The distance between us will melt away

Like fog on a summer’s day.

And I hope this time

You’d choose to stay.

 

With love, Emily.
