The Distance: 1995, 2016

The Distance: 1995, 2016

Through the tunnel,
memories sharp from years of examination;
I see you dancing in the rain,
With wild abandon;
A unique voice I envied and loved.
And you are gone now.

I see him,
Beautiful and delicate,
Words like butterflies,
And the awkwardness;
I thought he was the one that got away.

I was thinking of you yesterday,
And started following rabbit holes,
Searching out what happened to him,
since I know what happened to you.
And he turned into a she.

The distance between a youthful summer,
All of us, 
That potential met;
And today, 
throwing words down between meetings,
mothering,
working,
reading.
I lost both of you 
And need to find my voice again.
