Before connecting with others,
I needed to connect with my childish self.
I know he is there,
wandering in the streets of neighborhood
that no longer exists on this earth.
I sat down on a bench
that only we could know about
and started talking to him in writings.
The mundane memories, the feelings, and the thoughts
whatever we could think of, we talked about it.
The more I talked, the more clearly I could see him.
And I recognized someone had shown me the way.
It starts from us. The change, the connections.
