”New”

In this day and age everything that seems ''new'' in my mind has probably already existed. 

So if everything I think has already been thought and every word I write has already been written then what's really left to say?

Is the concept of being unique or original even a possibility anymore?

This Time

Maybe I tried 
to recreate those memories.

Maybe I did saunter down
the same street to the same building
with the same crude, concrete ceilings hovering above my head.
Maybe my food was the same,
maybe I held the same drink,
and just maybe I saw many of the same
people that we had before.
Maybe I did try to relive
romanticized moments without you
within the same places that we once shared.

But maybe this time
the feeling just wasn't the same.

Maybe this time simply meant more.

Free

Within those moments 
my entire reality became suspended.
It felt like the idea of time
no longer concerned me
and that I had finally found
my long-sought peace.

Gone were the worries
and intrusive thoughts
hindering my existence.
The world around me
had simply faded away...
and all I felt was free.
