Must I Follow
You walk ahead
leaving nothing behind.
All the important things,
you are taking with you.
What matters is
how your footsteps
wake the sleeper in me,
the one not quite following you
since looking back
and hiding are ways
we learn to grieve.
You’ve always led,
me being the weaker
one to stay, the stronger one
to leave behind.
I wave back now,
finding my strength
at last in the distance,
the ever shy distance.
- Jill Chan
