I stole your time,
trying,
I watched as you heard my whine,
kept your smile,
I walked inside your world,
offered nothing in return,
that was then,
I still remember the anxiety, know the confusion,
appreciate the lost world I began
seeking your guidance.
Simply not fair,
I know this today, as I see me everywhere,
head down on the desk,
simple disregard for anything beyond me,
in my own world,
seek my own dreams.
They don’t include you …
I remember you were my teacher, at the time
arrogance wasn’t able to let me have anything
you so freely offered me,
with your smile,
with your patience,
I remember that time you told me to,
go to …
I’m still standing in your room,
hoping somehow I might give back,
to you.
