I have been reading
our past
our dim distant past
captured like photographs
running like video clips
repeating like gifs
fading on pages
that were new
at the time.
I have been reading
backwards and forwards
endless conversations
desires and wishes
tears and kisses
endings and silence
promises
to remember
and to never forget.
I have been reading
when I should have
been writing.
I have been reading
and the time
has flown past.

I first posted this around this time last year. It was a reflective time then, and it is now. So I have posted it again.
