Shared

 One moment created a memory

and each memory triggers thoughts, 

teetering on the many emotions 

stored away within my heart. 

One side of a story 

my view and mine alone, 

of the many chapters of life

that just can't be let go. 

~

I took a ride to the city

a world different indeed, 

but an experience all the same

documenting I am truly free. 

The years have passed by

the path paved by choice,

led me in several directions

a few in which I rejoiced.

One book with many chapters

one ends and a new one starts,

though each are very different

only one holds my heart. 

Some are filled with sadness, 

heartache and despair 

but I savor the one 

that you and I have shared.
