Thoughts of you

I gave a thought of you today
It happens once in a while
A distance has come between us
That's kept you in the meanwhile.

I hope that you are happy
As each day passes by
I hope things are well
Though I don't know why

You cut me from your life
Pushed me to the side
Though to be your friend
Was all I ever tried.

I never wanted this
Never wanted the pain
I thought we could be friends
And keep each other sane

All I wanted was to help
To give my best advice
But I didn't realize my boundaries
Though I wish I could've recognized.

Now, we're here, distanced
Like the east from the west
My worries and thoughts
Locked in a chest

Do I ever cross your mind??
That I do not know
I only hope you leave room
For me in your soul.

So, as my fleeting thought takes its distance
And I begin to let my mind travel elsewhere
As I let your memory fade into my mind
I begin to think on how I don't care

Don't care if I'm there or not
If I help to bring a smile
Care if I am considered a friend
Called to during a trial.

No, it doesn't matter anymore
Whether I am there or not
There's only one thing
That I have always sought.

So as I say goodbye to your memory
Maybe this you will hear
Maybe somehow these words
Will help bring you cheer.

Be happy, my old friend
Don't let the world get you down
Don't let people control you
Keep your smile close around

You can be so much
God always has his plan
Don't let anyone change that
Always remember that you can

So smile more, laugh a lot
Be the person you are
Become who you want
Though it seems so far

I thought of you today
And one word came to me
Though I wish happiness for you
I can only think of being sorry.

A Path to Yesterday: Back Cover

My name is Paul Garrison.  At least it is right now.  I have been alive since the Pre-civil war era, and with skills that far surpass the capabilities of any ordinary human, I find the notion of fitting into society to be.... difficult.  As I sit idle, passing time working at a local grocery store, and finding fulfillment through small acts of kindness, a fragment from a past thought to be left behind overturns my relatively quiet life. Now I find myself traveling cross country with two unexpected companions. With a private desire to connect to another human being, I unveil a past long unknown to any living individual, aside from myself. Emotions long suppressed rise back to the surface as memories long forgotten are brought back to life.  As I recap a multitude of lifetimes, the question of my existence is quickly revisited. Traveling to face my past, it seems that this question may be closer to solved than I had thought possible....

A step Forward

A step forward, A world of shows A moment of rest Then we’re off, let’s go. “Where will this take me?” A question most ask But that knowledge isn’t needed For the start of this task. A step into unknown A leap made blind Will there really be Solid ground on the other side? Fear is normal It’s who we are. But it’s when fear doesn’t rule That we really see the stars. But what’s to lose, What holds us back? “Should we stay where we are?” If you’re on the right track. But is it fear That makes us stand still? The fear of the unknown That truly controls our will? Fear is healthy It makes us stop Before you jump, How high is that drop? Risk comes with all This is a fact of life Measure it carefully And avoid some strife. Know yourself Know your restraints Know where to start Know not to hesitate Know that there is no signal No flag or starting gun Know that it is only you That chooses when you run So, make the change Take this step Trust in

Chapter 1: A restless night

I need some air. Tonight, I wasn't content with the stale atmosphere of my apartment. I couldn't relax with the confinement of these four walls keeping me in. Even the exhilarating mental stimuli created by diving into another's created world through text couldn't hold my restlessness at bay. There was nothing particularly stressful from the day, except possibly the lack of anything really substantive. This whole week I've felt like I've merely been surviving, and not advancing in any direction. Not that I was entirely sure what direction I would want to advance in, but I seemed O.K. with advancing for the sake of itself. I sighed, tossed my book to the side, sat up, and examined at my clock, which doubled as a thermometer. 2:43 A.M. 42 degrees Fahrenheit . I looked out my window. Raining. I smiled to myself. Whatever. I swung myself from my bed, and slipped from my room. Moving slowly through my living room, I eventually found myself in my kitchen. Here
