Someone New

A poem describing feelings of accepting newness that enters one's life.

It wasn't as it was before, was it?

The ink had dried on that last chapter of 'finding us'

The paper looks a little discolored now and the edges a little crumpled

It wasn't exactly as it was before!

Life has a strange way of turning on us

Like the sunrise, sometimes laughter just escapes our lips

Then like the sunset it hides as it goes down like the tide

That rushes to the shores of the sea

I had me a old friend sometime ago

Only after a while, that friendship become a little faded

and maybe even quite jaded

Something left within the both of us

And it was hard to reunite once again

And so, we became acquaintances who once had a past

With memories best shelved in a hidden box

Someone New has now entered my world

And I foresee a future for us

Only, I wonder if history would repeat once again

With eager heart

A tattered page would now be thrown

And with a receptive thought

A bright new chapter would start a story

Of Someone New who has entered my realm.
