Inspiration piece
I really saw you for the first time when I had no other place to be but here.
I went looking for you out there in the world, but the perspective changed and I couldn’t find you.
I gave up searching and returned to the mystery of you out there in here.
I looked forward to seeing you every day.

I cherished our time together and your secret.

We all went back out there and you disappeared again, because I stopped looking for you.

I had enough of out there and settled back in here.
