it all went by really fast
we went from dreaming we could stand on the tops of the highest mountains,
to finding a way to pick ourselves up out of the rubble
there were times where we didn’t know whether we were moving forwards or backwards because the checkpoints looked the same for both
we cried, a lot
but we also found happiness in the moments we dreamt of experiencing from the very start
i come home when i need to remember
there’s less noise here
the water is calmer so reflections are clearer
one thing will forever remain true
the past lives with us, everyday,
for better or worse
time won’t wait for me,
or you
so be still, especially in the little moments
i know things will never be the same
,
but even if i could rewind time,
i wouldn’t change a thing
