901 Leland Street

As I sit on my couch at my new spot

I think about 901 Leland Street

the person I was in Apartment 209

I still remember decorating the living room

Not getting too cozy

Already wondering where I’ll go next

Understanding this was only part of the journey

not my final destination

Giddiness from starting anew

The same feeling that made me sign my lease

A sweet girl greeted me on my first day

Invited me to her apartment for some drinks

I kindly accepted her invitation

Knowing I’ll never show

Another flat character in my book

I’m full of energy, but where do I put it?

Maybe into this new life?

Leaving home for a long vacation from the old me

Later noticing I packed her next to my scarves

She came out once the nights became chilly again

The bottles piled up and so did the ash

I’m sitting on the same couch moved from 901 Leland street

Feels like a distant dream

A dream I can drive to in 19-min
