A Decade Since

Your re-dating her?
Is that a new trend?
Will she be different now, ten years later?

Will you think so, even if she stayed the same?

I remember her perfectly.
Without the hint of any truths.
I remember thinking she was better then me,
even in my shadows.

She spent ten years somewhere,
but now she is right there-
where we left her.

She sat beside me once in a theater,
and I remember thinking she should not be using my arm rest.
Her gigantic cup of soda dwarfed my water.
And I thought,
she is sitting in my space.

Now I am off and running,
and she has stayed so still.
Not for you, but for you to think it was for you.

I smile.
Because life is anything but circular.
Yes, it all comes back.
beginnings revisited.

But this time,
you wont see my shadows.

I won't cast anything but luck in your face.
