I'd Almost Forgotten

What it is like to sleep from night till morning, not in snippets all day.

What it is like to drive, not walk, wherever you want to go.

What it is like to talk about more than homework and college and who will be working when.

What it is like to have time, and space, just because there is time, and space.

What it is like to listen to myself a little more.

What it is like to hear other people a little better.

What it is like to have some weight lifted, even for a short time.

What it is like to step back, even if it's not very far.

What it is like to enjoy stepping forward, even when I don't have to.

In a life that rarely pauses from forward motion, it is easy to forget a lot of things. Luckily, once in a while, we are given a chance to remember...what we've almost forgotten.
