Strangers

I remember when we were preparing for a future with you. 

Where you were a kitten. 

And we were strangers to you. 

But now-

We are strangers to you again. 

As you are just so confused. 

We must prepare for a past with you. 

As we cast a ring of light ahead for you…

The frenzied look leaves your eyes.

I remember when you used to hide from us. 

I can see now…

That you are simply hiding again.
