The Boy and The Girl

She went to his house
and asked
Where is the boy, the boy i knew and the boy i loved

He answered, i know your face but not your heart

It was him, but not to her
To her, he was wrong
He was young but his heart was old

She said
You are the boy i seek, but you love not as one
Your heart is in your minds lashes
You are the man you never wanted to be

He replied
True, my mind ensnares my heart
To be young has the toll of growing old
The younger you are, the older you must grow

She asked
Why Boy, why are you the man i do not love

He replied
Because, I was not the boy you loved neither
Maybe i was... once, but not now
Now when the loves sun leaves
The night sets in
and the light which once illuminated my way
is replaced
and the way forgotten

So i crawled, for days and days
My muscles tore, my heart did bleed
The man you see
Is the boy who walked that path
No more

Alive she said... Alive, and in love you were, why boy
why boy
It is only the heart of a Boy any Girl can ever love
Girls have no Man but their father
They need the boy, that feels as they do
In Youth

I would be that boy again, could i open this account
Yet no call has been made
For its open
I never wished it closed
Nor did i believe it would be
But that it is

and the Girl Walked Home
