One-Way Road

I’ve learned my place

We’ve taught me well

Of when it’s time

And when it’s not

Of when we travel together

And travel apart

 

I’m not sure when

The two-way road

Became a one-way

I’m not sure when

I started doing the traveling

With you

Only inspecting at major points.

When did this road change

How did I not see it

See the road in front of me changing

Being torn apart before my eyes

 

But when I think back

This road has had

One-way parts before

And somehow

It always becomes a two-way road again

At some major inspection

When things are changed

When you see my travels

Understand my path

And you need me

Again

:: wow... i think this has to be one of my favourite pieces written by you... there's such depth and such intensity in your words and such insight too that i'm overwhelmed... :: the equation that two human beings share goes through many phases... and sometimes i feel it reaches a peaceful place only when one of them doesn't give up... until that peaceful place is reached... despite all the chaos along the way... despite all the obstacles and all the problems... :: if i really want to be in that peaceful zone with someone, i just don't give up...

Thank you!!! :) This piece was written for a few realtionahips in my life and I've learned it's hard to stay on that road when it seems you're all by yourself you just have to hope. I'm doing a lot of hoping in those realtionships right now. Don't ever give up, no matter how unwelcoming the road my look; there could be the beautiful valley on the other end.. :) Thank you!!
