I stand near the ledge looking out toward the water.
I turn my head up to the sky and feel the wind on my face.
I turn my head around slowly looking forward to you...as always,
and then I realize it just may not be you behind me anymore.
I turn toward the possibilities to a new love, with a new life ahead of me, without you. I look back toward the water and put my arms outstretched and just feel the damp air...and look toward a much younger man who has his heart open....I sense him behind me..and I realize I no longer need a much older man because I have outgrown my need for a "daddy type" and understand that I have for a while now not felt afraid of the edge of the bluff, and just look forward to seeing a person from my past who was attatched at the time....and just look forward to him being behind me smiling and strong inside and out...and him and I walking close to each other away from the bluff together in harmony just like my grandfather and grandmother..eaons ago.
I don't look to You in malice, abandonment, jealousy, feeling that you betrayed me...I just look forward to tomorrow, most likely without you.
