The Lightness Vs. The Darkness

This guy right in front of me,
He just might be my future.
He’s the one that I’m supposed
To love, to marry, to have kids
With, and to grow old with.
We’re supposed to be happy,
To raise our kids, see them
Grow up and be grandparents
Together. We’re supposed to
Do all of those things together.
But what if everything changes?
How am I going to reassure
This perfect guy and myself that
Everything is going to be okay?
When I know that everything
That we planned might fall
Apart and slip right from our
Grasp. What if it’s him that
I fall in love with? What if
I’m lured away by that guy
In the corner. The guy I
Would normally ignore
Because he’s too dark and
Unknown. He’s different than
My future because while my
Future pulls me into the light,
The other drags me away into
The darkness where there is
No light, not even a peak of
Sunlight. Maybe that’s where
I belong. Wherever he goes,
I follow and go along with him
Because even though he may
Not belong in my future, he’s
Still there, waiting for me.
