Forgetting the past

Forget what you know.
Forget what I told you.
Things change, but people change fast.
People change fast , but you changed faster.
I couldn't keep up.
You left me there waiting.
Waiting, like the old man on the corner
who waits for the bus because his children said
he needed to stop.
I look to the horizon
for you. I hope to see walking torward the shore.
I know if you were to come it wouldn't be that way,
but the thought of you walking on water
does nothing but make me say
You could have if you wanted
You never knew but I thought of you
You were able to make me fall to the ground with the sound of your voice
able to know all there is to know
able to do what others couldn't
able to be everywhere and no where at all
able to be you and you alone
and able to love me like no one else could
I blocked everyone but you out
I loved you
but things change, and people change fast
People change fast, but I changed faster.
I forgot what you told me
I forgot what I knew.
