Last night I saw the same dream I saw the day we met たまたま?Was it luck, chance or fate?
What was the color of the eyes on my favorite doll The taste of my first lipgloss
I can’t pick and choose my memories But I can pick and choose my curtains.
Every bookmark is a wish This is the new me
Priced, priceless
Compressed into the digital My past self, my imagined self, the you and the I
We are all together in the same room Timeless, timestamped
11:11
Maybe it’s coincidence, maybe it’s destiny
dream dream desire despair
It’s never too late to be who you might have been.
Today I threw away a shirt I’ve been wanting to throw away
Objects that once defined me Where are they now?
Displaced from the private
to a place of dreams, delusion
Tangible, intangible
I want every object to be meaningful, to be felt, to be mine
to be shared
