Thank God you’re back
Did you find a home there?
Was it why you went that way?
Did you adapt it to your life
Or did you reject it?

Are you euphoric?
Are you at peace?
Are you disappointed?

Because you did come back
You’re eating
You’re talking
You’re in the middle of where you lived

Did you chase fate
Or fortune?
Did destiny meet you there
Or was it just a hint?

I wonder how far it took you to come back
Did you think you’d lost your way
Or did we accidently meet again?

You changed your shoes
Are you preserving the dust
Or burying the memory?

It seems you aren’t yourself
Troubled but determined
Not wrong
But not right

I know you don’t want to be here
You expected to be there
And there was not there

Yet

It’s only your desire
But a dream is never fully formed
It’s an idea
Like a song
But the rain
The heat
The wind
The cold

These are the things that are real

And they weren’t there in the dream
But they are there in your life
So maybe you are already there
It’s just that you didn’t recognize it

You almost did
But you didn't

You just have to get used to almost
Almost as you imagined
Almost as you wanted
Almost
Not exactly

Like life

Almost
Not exactly
