Spent years looking for you at every corner, everywhere I go. A glimpse of a face that felt familiar; sunlight reflecting off someone’s hair. A smile, or a twinkle in an eye that reminded me of you. From all those years ago.

In so many scenarios, I thought of what I’d say when I finally found you. but when the truth is finally staring at me right in the face, I find that I’m at a loss. On what to say, how to connect. Almost as if I’d forgotten how to get acquainted with someone new again. But a part of me wanted to rewind everything back to that summer years ago, wishing that I could be that somewhat carefree kid again. Truth is, I can’t. And I won’t.

So, what now?
