Introspect Retrospect.

Today I will deal with you.
I will deal with our memories.
Our memories,
Like the postcard we drove through,
The terrains of the South Island,
Today I will deal with you,
I will deal with our memories,
Our memories,
Like our manual ascend of the Eiffel tower in winter,
The jolt of freezing metal against our hands.
Today I will deal with you,
I will deal with my empty nights,
My empty nights, once occupied with you,
I will deal with this empty drive,
Those 3 a.m. jaunts, through mini city peaks,
Me, riding in the passenger seat,
Your hand, once in mine, mine, once in yours.
Today I will sit with them
I will sit with my uncertainties,
I will sit with my thoughts,
I will sit with my demons,
I will sit with my timidities,
I will sit with my insecurities,
I will sit with my ideas,
Most importantly,
I will sit with us,
Us, once a team,
Us, now a dream.
