retrospective thoughts

i wonder if you ever learned
how to drive

or if you found taking the bus
less chaotic.

do you still enjoy
the odd train ride

with your headphones blaring
the 1975?

i know you've grown
and found new things

but i cannot help remembering
your kimchi cravings

and your fondness for
simple things.

did you let anyone else
wear that turtleneck?

did you ever regret
having me help on your projects?

those are not answers i need
or want.

i apologise, i'm really stuck
in the past.

so let me finish
with this last note.

sincerely, a friend from somewhere
not that long ago.
