I see you.
One, two, three or more steps,
always,
ahead of me.

I watch as you progress
And what I once was
Slowly
For the moment
Fades.

Eventually…
Eventually…
I’ll one day step
At the moment you do

And then that day
Will be the day
That I surpass you.

Days months years,
But it does not matter when.
I’ll work hard
To see this to its end

And even if I don’t
I know I did my best
Forever remaining great
Because I put myself to
The test.

just a poem. because wether or not someone's better then me doesn't mean i'll ever give up.

just some emotions when i'm told i'll never beat someone because they're so good.

That's a good sentiment; I like how you never definitely decide you'll beat them, but it's always one day I will...but even if I don't, I will still be the absolute best I can be. That's what I love about the last stanza.

Nice work again and welcome: you're Back in Action!

Me: I love you more than anything; more than tea or books.

Husband: Don't exaggerate.
