We Follow Patterns

Patterns reverberate through time -
cycles that we go through again and again
apparently, until we choose the "right" path.
A lesson given over and over until learned;
because broken bones
teach better lessons than sermons.

You're #3 for me this time around
how many came before me for you?

Dysfunctional habits that hold us back
negative thought loops
abusive responses
codependency
avoidance...
I guess I have some work to do.

You don't know me
I don't know you
(even though I'd really like to)

I think I understand better now
why I've collided with you.
I'm sorry to have tried to act
before I understood. After all,
it's easy for me to lose myself
in foolish dreams.

The more I see, the less I know.
Can you still see me from there?
