a walk through grove street (a poem)

a walk through grove street (a poem) 


i thought if i returned to this place 

then i’d finally have some closure  


on the what ifs 

on the past 

on the person i was


but the only answer i gathered is such 


i don’t want to miss what is right in front of me 


and although 

i am not everything you thought i would be 

perhaps

that is the greatest blessing 


because what a gift it is to feel so deeply
