black and white

some things are just black and white

i rememeber as kids

the day the sun set

i had to tell you something

but you said you did to

we was only ten

what could a ten year old have to say

not much i guess

you came to say

yes thats what you had to say

we are only ten

arrogant to love

but you said it

i knew you ment it

but love was so black and white

just as you was to me

i had to tell you something

which would break your heart

into many peices

not even glue could fix

what was so black and white

became so clear

i had to go

i was moving away

thats when you let go of my hand

you looked at me with agony in your eyes

i said to you im moving away

you began to cry not little tears

to many tears to fix

i just walked away

never reading the not in the flowers

i thought how black and white life seemed

which scares me most is how unseen love is

i lost you then as a friend and lover

but as life becomes black and white

i found you agian

i met you years to come

like a dream come true

there you was on the same hill

we stood on many years ago

but only as a man

your eightteen now

time has flown

you say i look the same

but i must say you have changed

what hasnt is you still love me

your note what has always been black and white

which i never read said this...........................................

ill be waiting here for you

its like you knew all along

that id be going away

i never read it

but my heart told me to go

thats what i did i went

to my amaze thats where you was

what was black and white

begins to fade

as colors shine through

Author's Note

sometimes black and white can show us what we really need

I see the character, they a clearly defined. This is VERY good and hard to do well.
To help me understand this more it needs some form of structure. I see no beginning nor end. Try to break this up and see what happens.

And this is a very personal thing but the pictures force onto me what I feel I should be thinking. If you lost them people could take their own experience from your art. Think about it.

good job... life would be simpler if we could revert to childlike minds in certain situations...
