Paths

What if
what if
what if.
I can't know.
Won't know.
Ought need not know.
Does it make a difference in my reality?
In how that memory lands?
How that time felt and what it could mean?
Maybe not.
Maybe it's important to have fewer answers,
we are complex and autonomous and separate entities.
Even with information presented, there's no sure fire way to verify.
What if
it's ok.
What if it was just one lesson, not a reoccurring class?
What if it means nothing either way?
What if I'll never know?

Ships in the night, momentarily passing by.
To learn the lesson of catch and release,
let it go, let it be,
release attachment and be with peace.
Goodbye and hello
hello and goodbye, kind soul.
As you come and as you go,
I'll be here and there.
Maybe we'll cross paths again.
