you remind
you remind me
you remind me of,
you remind me of what?
you remind me of what existed,
you remind me of what existed once.

Associations will
Snag our thoughts, our feelings
Not till we let them go
Will they let us go too

Why does this poem make me cry? Because nothing truer has ever been expressed. Your version seems to hold my hand. Thank you for this, Ben.

Crying can be a relief and even a comfort if there is a hand to hold. The other is pointing to the way forward. Thank you for your trust and openness, which is humbling.

Easier or harder?

Easier. The disappointment of wishes, what could be and wants becomes tiring.

I get that. Unfortunately life is meant to be harder when it comes to dreams, wishes, and wants.

And the celebrating them that much more fun.
