Reunion

Just one weekend in a lifetime, you know
Just one weekend, a lifetime

I never thought it could take me back
To where I was back then
Feeling the feelings all over again

I left it all behind I thought
That was me then... this is me now

But I've carried with me all these years
The memories I'd forgotten I'd made
The joys, the pains, the fears

The layers of my life
peeled back to reveal
The me I used to be
seems still as real
Yet who I am now includes the layers intact

The unexpected uninvited half-formed nigglings of what-ifs,
if-onlys, should-haves, could-haves and what-might-have-beens

But I survived without a scar
I've been in worse by far

Can't wait for the next

Reunion!
