Contrast

And you -
   move like
    scattered leaves
      blowing
        in the
         wind...
          free,
           independent,
            an individual,
             a loner.
          never satisfied
           with the
             spot you're
                 in...
              never sticking
                with anything
                  for long,
And me,
     everyday is the
         same -
         a constant
          stream of
            water -
             always
              flowing
                in
                the same
                 direction.
                 And if we
                  (you - the leaf
                    and I - the
                     stream)
                     ever cross
                       paths
                        again,
                     I hope
                      you
                        will stay
                         with me,
                        once again safe.
                         until then,
                          I am afraid
                              for you.
                               As I wait
                            patiently,
                             for your
                              return,
                                I care.
