happens once

Do you remember the time before

And the time before that

And the time before that

Or do you just do what the rest of us do,

Pretend none of it ever happened,

Until, totally out of the blue

Or creeping up so slowly the scars are already formed

All of it comes back,

And either crushes you

Or causes so little you can't even remember

What it was you were so worried about...

Remembering?

But who ever said any of this only happens once?
