Looking Back

 

I was reading back

To something I wrote

A year ago

To the day

 

It was about a rendezvous

A meeting where nothing happened

But I wondered to myself

If anything would

 

And that wonder grew

And became a dream

A dream that was all too real

That stoked a passion at my core

 

But as I look back now

The answer was there from the start

The nothing that happened

Was exactly that-nothing

 

But the dream was all too real

And what I’ve taken away

From a year of wonder

Are answers to questions I didn’t know to ask

 

And I’m better for that learning

Because the whole experience

Showed me a much better me

And for that I owe my friend a lot

 

And someday

Someone

Will benefit from that rendezvous-

And the things that I found deep at my core
