I have branded you

From habit-

Both yours

And mine.

I see 

From glancing 

At what I’ve

Seen before.

I know this

And how

It goes

Forever

As though

No 

Time

Has passed.

What passes

For time

Is

Absence.

Aren’t we

The same

Yet

Growing?

We aren’t 

The same.

We can’t

Be.

Stuck in

The past;

Living in

Remembering

We have

So much 

More

Experience

And 

So much

Less

Naïveté

Just from 

Having

Lived

Life.

Muscles memorize

And categorize

In our

Brains.

We see

Without looking

And hear

Without listening

To 

The moment

Occurring

Anew.

Be

Curious.

Value

Appreciates.

What’s new?

Not much.

I beg.

To differ.
