Curled into the corner booth.
Painful silence.
The ache hanging in the air.
So many things that we never said
just because there was no clear path
From point A to point B.
No ones fault really.
Things change.
Sometimes the most painful lessons
are also the most boring.
Things change
and you can fight it
or you can steer along the current
and use the momentum to your advantage.
There will always be backward glances
to any endeavor that is worth remembering.
It’s what you do in the present that matters most.
It’s the only thing that we really have.
What we do with this very moment.
And even though I may return
from time to time
and find that same corner booth
and drink my coffee and remember,
It doesn’t mean I regret my choices.
It just means that once upon a time
that moment was just as important as this one
and it deserves at least that much.
