A New Moment
There is a part of me which holds back,
seeing the patterns
returning to places
I have been with a person from my past,
at times I feel as though I am with a ghost
as you suggest locations I have been before,
sending me pictures
where I have once stood,
recommending a trip
for us to take
to a state she first took me to,
it is not a fault for the similarity
but it triggers a hesitation,
I am trying to find a way to say
I need more of you,
your voice
your touch-
feeling,
hearing you
here beside me
for you are different from her
in the best way possible
and I would love to rewrite my stories
in these places
with you by my side,
erasing old flashbacks of her growing angry with me
or texting an “ex”,
with images of you
learning more of your soul,
but my mind jumps to the horrid memories
before I can take it all in
I need your hand in mine
giving a squeeze
waking me up
to a new moment
