am i too slow or are you in a rush?

Saturday, April 30, 2005

you said you're an old bird
seen the world
took your rounds
and resting now

I'm a fledging newbie
waiting to see the world
wanting to venture forth
you say you'll show me the way
all i gotta do is to take the flight

i risk it
i take the dip
i enjoy the wind in my face
i love being by your side

you taught me how to spread my wings and fly
you taught me how to dive and prey
you taught me how to enjoy the moment

i learnt the ways
i practice them
i falter
you pick me up
dust off the dirt on my wings
i continue to fly
and falter
but never give up
never lose faith

it took a toll on you

perhaps i wasn't ready
to fly so high
so fast

perhaps you thought i could fly
higher
faster

our pace unmatched
i was behind
no longer side by side with you

we stopped

i ponder

is this the end

i refuse to give up
holding on to a promise and the faith
you refuse to try anymore
you need to move on

was i too slow for your pace
or were you in a rush in the first place
