Reply to 2020 from 2025

So, in so many ways past and present mesh,
it's reminiscence of everything I have been through.
I thought, I thought I had bid adieu.

And then a  poem from 2020.
A soft laughter fill with tears, a glance 

A view from 2025

 hello !! goodbye, hello ! again.
I feel like I've met my long lost friend ( a grin so bright it eclipsing  sunlight) 
Pen to  paper ,eyes to a book.

I think I found what I've overlooked ( a smile so soft ,a heart that melts) 

a passion so fierce
a thirst unquenched! 
words unwritten.....
Jaws unclenched! 
emotion pours , like a gush of rain rushing ,thrusting to the ocean floor.

I see the me of yesterday.  ( Eyes glistening with unshed tears) 
I see the growth ( a lie from deep within  but  a truth that's actually not so thin ) 
but still the pain I've held at Bay.
I say I'm strong.
I've moved on !

but this brings about a memory of a time
A time 
 of yesterday
a time I thought long gone and far away
a whisper of mine carried on the wind

I remember you.
I remember you.
I remember you.
I do.
