i went for a walk today -

and thought
and thought
and thought
and thought.

i went for a walk today
and thought about
who we once were,
and who we are now,
and how everything's changing,
yet everything's staying the same.

i went for a walk today
and thought about
endings and beginnings,
and school and summer,
and staying together,
and saying goodbye.

i went for a walk today
and thought about
you; how i hoped you were okay;
how i wished you'd call;
how i missed you so.

i went for a walk today
and thought about
how you're gone now,
and about how you're leaving soon,
and about how far we've all come this year.

i went for a walk today
and thought about
the way things were,
and the way things are,
and the way things are going to be very soon.

i went for a walk today
and thought about
right and wrong,
and yes and no,
and lies and truths,
and shades of grey.

i went for a walk today
and thought about
absolutely everything
that has happened in the last nine months,
and about how life shouldn't be this complicated.

so while i was out on my walk today,
i stopped at a playground
and sat on a swing
and swung.
and after awhile,
i didn't think at all.
i just swung.

i just swung.
