Step by step,
I slowed down after each step.
I was afraid of just one thing.
You will not be in that same spot,
I had hoped you'd always be.
It was just a wishful thinking.
As I was climbing up these stairs,
I thought of all the times we had.
You were one of my greatest friends,
I have loved you and I love you still.
I have refused to look,
I have refused to be there,
But it was inevitable.
After I took the last step,
I continued to that spot.
I opened the lights,
And I sat for awhile.
Alone.
Again.
