looking past it all

Jon Nakapalau

i still see you
which tells me that
i should have seen
you sooner but i
was in a place
where i thought you
waiting for me even
as you were leaving.

    Thought provoking paradox in a poem. Well done

  • Fred1794

    Really love the circular overthinking feeling here. Great!

  • Fína Elara 🌙 Petra Patrice

    This written piece captures that sharp moment of belated recognition, the pain of missed timing, and a soft, lingering regret.
    Nice work

    Thoughtful words Jon.
