As I Remember

CodeRiot

looking into your eyes
it's hard to find you
you wonder why I never recognize you
when you walk into a room
why I seem to see through your body
when you wave hello

it's not that I don't remember you
there's nothing that could erase you from me
it's just despite you being you
there's something that doesn't quite click

I miss you
even when you're here
I miss you
even when you're near
I miss you
but it seems like what I always feared

you're wearing your eyeliner different
your nails aren't quite as short
you're sitting a little different
your hair isn't quite as light
it's you inside, behind
somewhere you're hiding
masking the growth
behind shades of moves
pretending to be strong
toughening out
what's really wrong
is you lost control of yourself

I miss you
even as I talk to you face to face
I miss you
even as we converse about this time and place
I miss you
and you're right in front me
I miss you
can't you just see
I want the real you
beside me

I think
at some point, others force the change
force the change by making one feel foolish
for being young at heart
for being open
snickers and smirks burn like a brand
to be treated as an adult, it seems
calm composure is required
and most people feel more comfortable
seeing a smooth surface
at least, in my job
that's true

it's good to see
we have such know-it-alls
here

and i dont mean you coderiot
peace

justam: there's many reasons
and everyone has their own point of view
nobody's perfect

back to life....

I got sidetracked, i'm sorry. I don't mean to come off like a know-it-all. I know I don't know anything except for my own pov.
