Just as the sun set, your eyes became glassy

Just as the tide went high, you were a god of the sky

Just as the night crepted up, you were the first to say the magic words

Just as I fell, you were the one to catch me

Just as I turned around and looked from behind the wall you put up, you were there taking back the magic words and giving them to her

Just as I moved, you were a ghost in the shadows always watching

Just as I picked myself up, you brought me back down

and just as I fixed my life again...

Just as I felt forgiveness in my heart...

You murdered the last bit of anything left in me, just as I started to "Just let go"

The author's comments:
This was an emotional time in my life when "Coming of Age" was all that was there. Beginning High School and making new friends, brings drama and heart ache. I got over it and found my right direction. :)
