Yesterday
I saw you yesterday...
I was walking to my car and I spotted you out of the corner of my eye. At least it's the you I imagine now... You were crossing the street with some sort of purpose. You seemed like you were walking in slow motion and yet you were gone in the blink of an eye.
Of course it wasn't you... how could it be?
Because...
Had it been you... all my troubles would have vanished in an instant.
Had it been you... I would still be living in my rosy world with all the truths neatly tucked into dark corners.
Had it been you... guilt and regret would still be words I only thought I understood
Had it been you... the shadow that covers my soul would have lifted and the light would have flooded in.
No, it wasn't you but what if it had been? What if...

Take that gift in the spirit with which it was given, RT.
For gift it surely was.
You are forgiven and all - all! - has moved on. It would be foolish to ignore a portent so powerful, so...
don't.

Moving post, RT.
I can close my eyes and feel like that too...

Just a moment I had the other day I wanted to get out of my head. It's amazing how writing something down can help you get past it sometimes.
Daughter: I won't. I promise. Thank you.
Jen: Then keep you eyes open. That's what I'm trying to do these days but we all have to blink sometimes. Even if it's just to keep our eyes moist. Thanks.
20 Something: True... but that was yesterday :)
