... two people encountering each other after 19 years, discovering what has changed and what has stayed the same about each other and themselves, after all that time.
... a validation and apology, better late than never because the potential for feeling seen and a mutual unburdening is ever powerful.
... how the tables unexpectedly turn, where one was invested and the other not, and years later, the other invested and the original one not.
... a meditation on the path not taken, and how their lives might have turned out completely different if only, if only, if only.
... an uncanny re-intertwining of two lives, which had started out circumstantially similar in the initial engagement, then emotionally similar upon re-meeting.
... finding the way back to younger selves, reminiscing regretfully at past actions and rejoicing at the distance each has since traveled.
... a reconstruction of nearly two decades of life, in hopes of finding common interests, if not common ground.
... how there's an magical undercurrent to why and when things happen, and how tapping into it and following where it leads can yield an entirely unforseen life.
These possibilities, the ones that I have yet to think of, and the combinations thereof, are what preoccupy my days. Reality is something I'm grounded in, but I've always wanted a story. I can only hope that it is a story about us.
