After the Swings
Leaving the seat,
You left an impression,
however brief.
Try to remember
trying to forget.
The chemicals
cleanse your mind,
not your history.
You can be accepted.
Choose your apologies
or change your future.
Swinging happy.
Swinging melancholy.
Not forgetting
how high we swung.
Where you landed.
