I told myself, this would my last time putting pen to paper, recalling you.
There wasn't a need to expound... You understand.
I surmised, my quiescence would be an extravagant courtesy to you.
But we can both acknowledge that, that's mendacious.
I'm so tenacious now!
More tenacious, than you thought I'd be, aren't I?
You had preferred to have me stay in that vacuum a little longer...
But I knew it was time to make a break for it.
Down there, I was blind to everything...
Out, I now see everything, and it's all so exquisite.
The road ahead looks immeasurable...
As I traipse it alone.
Each tiptoe brings injury, far beyond the reach of my imagination.
Even so, I will never relinquish my capability to shout.
I will shout it from the rooftops, for her.
I refuse to be taciturn!
What had been four, turned to two...
Two became three, became two...
Nothing more, nothing less.
I have come full circle, haven't I?
Down there, I was blind to everything...
Out, I now see everything, and it's all so exquisite.
That road ahead looked immeasurable... But I can see it clearly now...
My future, where someone will walk it with me, side by side...
There wasn't a need to expound... You understand.
I surmised, my quiescence would be an extravagant courtesy to you.
But we can both acknowledge that, that's mendacious.
I'm so tenacious now!
More tenacious, than you thought I'd be, aren't I?
You had preferred to have me stay in that vacuum a little longer...
But I knew it was time to make a break for it.
Down there, I was blind to everything...
Out, I now see everything, and it's all so exquisite.
The road ahead looks immeasurable...
As I traipse it alone.
Each tiptoe brings injury, far beyond the reach of my imagination.
Even so, I will never relinquish my capability to shout.
I will shout it from the rooftops, for her.
I refuse to be taciturn!
What had been four, turned to two...
Two became three, became two...
Nothing more, nothing less.
I have come full circle, haven't I?
Down there, I was blind to everything...
Out, I now see everything, and it's all so exquisite.

I really like this poem too. Another of my favorites.
