The End of the Line

Growing,
ever growing.
I move forward.
For so long,
I have waited for this growth.
Waited to see
how the future unfolds.
It has come,
and it was good,
but now more than ever
I wish to return
to that blissful wait.
With every step
you were at my side,
and the prize is made less sweet
without you here to share it.

-Dedicated to my greatest friend, may we return that way soon-
