Before, certain places we’ve driven past or visited  

Places not holding special moments

Not holding special memories

You might enjoy those places

But they are simply places you know of



During, you visit these places with someone special  

The places start to have meanings

You laugh, smile, play, eat and drink  

You start to make it a hangout place

You make it somewhere you love going  

The places become familiar  

They become special

You make moments in to memories

Suddenly becoming an “us” place with that other person



After, those places are not the unfamiliar places

Like in the before stage

When they were simply just places

The places now are not special and meaningful

To both people anymore

The “us” places are now tarnished and cracked

You drive by and try to visit those places  

The places can’t be visited and driven by in the same way

Your heart feels it differently now



The places have become in limbo status

Of still remaining scared but also damaged  

You must simply force your heart out of limbo

Oh, how brutal it is letting it fall

But these are only places after all
