To Those I Loved Before

To Those I Loved Before

Today, I’m happy.

Today,
is
different
from yesterday.

Today,
I was
24 hours
farther away
from the day
I
left
you.

Today,
I woke up
from
a new dream, powerful
& alive.

Today I thrive.

Today,
it might rain
but I’ve got boots
& a
bright yellow slicker
instead of
just
an
umbrella.

Today,
thoughts of you
never played.

Today,
never occurred
to
either one of us
back
then.
