Certain moments trigger vivid memories,

     for a second you smile....feeling the happiness.

Weightless like a high and then you remember,

     you try to forget...pretend it never happened.

But those events re-surface and you are left feeling

     empty.....hopeless....unsure.

Hold them back, it's not worth it..

I repeat this, until it passes.

The calm before the storm

     then I allow myself to cry.

Saying goodbye to an old friend,

     never to meet this.... new stranger.
