Hiya,
So for this part of the Stages titled You & I, I have incorporated three elements: the passing of a loved one, a friendship ending and a romantic relationship coming to an end. This installment ties in with I Want Out, but on a slightly different level because of the other perspectives included within this poem as well as the dual perspectives You & I offers to the reader.
You & I (Pt. 2 Of Stages)
You’re the only person I let see me cry
You’re the only one who stays up late talking with me on the phone when I can’t sleep
I can remember when we said our goodbyes on that stale, hot August day
I can remember the way the light in your eyes faded as you slipped away
You’re the first person I want to share my good news with
You’re the only one who understands my jokes with just a look
I want to stop you, chase you down, and make you change your mind
I want to go back to hanging out in the park and talking on the porch at night
