Travelling back into the so-called good-old-times
Writing postcards
Smiling about felt nostalgia
Pre-Corona, you know
Pre-thinking too much about everything

What has been
Won’t ever be again
We can dream about it
But dreaming about wanting something back
Is just remembering
Living in the past

Living is moving forward in time
The body takes steps
The mind won’t follow
Staying in the past

Living?

Writing postcards
Writing
Words out of the mind
And the mind moves back on
Catches up
Re-unites with the body.
