i should have

i was following your steps, chasing you, careful not to lose you in the multitude of human noise and shadows..

i was close behind, my feet were tired and sore but my desire to follow you was overwhelming, even to myself.. your distant form was my compass, as long as you are in sight i was sure where i was headed.. i had direction because you were there..

i was close behind, waiting, waiting for you to turn and spare me a glance, to bless me with a quick glimpse from your soulful eyes..

i was hoping, i really was, desperately..

but you didn't, you walked straight away and faded..

and my heart was washed with sadness.. and regret..

i should have called out to you.. maybe you would've turned..

i should have..
