For a few days I slipped away to
An alternate reality mirroring my life
Where I could take back and reflect
With the help from a good friend
How to appreciate living in the now
We explored streets, both old and new to me,
Sharing stories, watching movies,
And reminding me the importance of
Accepting where I am instead of mourning
All I thought things could be
Laying on the beach, we ran towards the waves
I embraced welcoming summer
And this new chapter all at once.
