I Dare Not Stop You Now
So, um, well.... I've just learned about someone who, well he isn't dead but I'm not going to be able to talk to him again. I didn't know him for very long, but I feel like we were good friends. I'm really sad right now, and this is what the poem is about.
-Van Rorie
I dare not stop you now
Now that you are certain
Still though I ask how
Was there no sign of caution?
Or was I simply blind?
How did you come to this position?
Was I just another bind?
I wish you well, now that I hear you go
Or at least I pretend to
But secretly I wish it wasn't so
Still everything is blue
Momentarily I may not happily walk
But slowly the sadness may fade
Besides, in my head we can still talk
