What is it about them?

It happens to everyone as they grow up. You find out who you are and what you want, and then you realize that people you've known forever don't see things the way you do. So you keep the wonderful memories, but find yourself moving on.

— Nicholas Sparks.

Sailing ponderously

towards the bridge,

the heartbeats are louder,

becoming more audible.

The thumping overpowers

the sound of the waves

that flowed along the stream

softly and soothingly.

Everything intensifies

as the distance closes

and the heart palpitations 

increase at a rapid pace.

What did this bridge mean

so much so that 

it tensed up the mood

and amplified the anxiety.

When did this bridge appear

and ruin a peaceful journey.

Why did it have to exist

and cause havoc in the heart.

When will this moment

pass by and be over

and will it ever return again

if the bridge is deconstructed.

————

Oh, dear bridge,

sometimes I still wonder

when I'll ever see you again.

Maybe never,

it's better that way.

Burn in peace.

I must be missing something

They just keep doing nothing

Too intoxicated to be scared.
