Revisited

We reminisced of the old days

We spoke of today

:

We dreamed of our futures

the fruit they would bear

:

We charted where we are

where we have been

where we are going

where we refuse to tread again

:

We are from the desert

but now we walk through mountains

:

We were once in love

but now we’re just good friends

:

I recognized

his natural talent

I encouraged him

to still go for his dreams

“You made it out of the desert

and beyond this valley

they are still waiting.”

:

He remarked on

how far

that I’ve come

:

Innocently

I thought he was talking

about how far I drove to get

to his cabin

:

But he corrected my thoughts

when he said,

:

“No, I mean you’ve come a long way

in life to be here where you are now.”

:

It was what I needed to hear

because not very many know

my story, my struggles, my strength

and recognize my resilience

to become the woman I am now

:

He encourage me

He said from

knowing who I am

that I could do anything

:

His belief in me

was as refreshing

as the mountain air

:

He is grown now

but his quirks are the same

A love for videography

photography

and nature

:

I asked him to take me

to places no one knows about

To new places that

I’ve never seen before

:

The secret natural wonders

that only a few know to look for

:

We ventured

We laughed

We played

:

At the end of the day

we both agreed

that this day was exactly

what we both needed

:

A break from the day to day

to remember who we are

and why we came

to this place
