Dear Future

You dont remember me,

do you?

I lost that weight,

tested my fate,

now I outgrew you.

I no longer hesitate.

I can stand up to finally check your mate.

I hold no resentment towards my replacements.

I know they can't please you.

Not the way that I do.

At least,

this is what i tell myself.

For the future I hold so dear,

Is far from ever being here.

But it's those countless boys I fear.

For their water you drinks,

is most unclear.

I can see it now,

The future I hold so dear.

May yours be better than what mine appears.

After we both learn to lose our fears.

And can see each other as peers.
