Memories I Thought I had Lost
March 11, 2010Seeing you again
has brought back for me
Memories I Thought I Had Lost.
So much has changed & so much has taken place
So much too has remained & stayed the same
& always will do.
Spaces & gaps in between
Amidst our because vast hence limited memories.
Memories gained & memories thought lost
Only to come back ever so vividly
Like we had never left the old place.
Nearly ten years now
Felt like never again
Suddenly like yesterday just passed.
“Yesterday once once” is a cliche.
But it’s not yesterday;
it’s today.
“Today once more”
How much we wish & wish
for “once more” “once more”.
Live & relive & live.
Thank you for making the pages
Come alive again
If only for that second, that One Single Moment
Then again to go back into the page.
Because “Life’s a book, & usually opened in the middle.”
Thank you
for the kindness
& for the generosityof spirit.
It was warm
like the spring baths
Too warm even
But it felt good
When there is no reason for someone to treat you so good
but they do,
Something takes place in the heart.
& also in the brain.
Because your mindset is changed
Your perspective changes again.
Like a road trip
Take turns to drive
Parts of it you remember;
parts of it you don’t
No, life is not in pieces but as a whole.
My two friends, nearly “childhood” friends.
One with three younger brothers, chased out of home, built a business on his own, independent,
now happily married with a cosy home.
One nearly lost his life to illness, an affable person with a good heart, handling his family business,
now happily married to Shizu-san with a lovable son by the name of Taito.
These ten years I thought had gone missing.
They were surprised too how much had taken place for me.
Lost & found, contact established.
That One Single Moment, how much you’d give.
Because you never expected you’d meet them again.
Seeing you again
has brought back for me
Memories I Actually Never Lost.
