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

Not long ago was I decorating the living room

Looking outside those huge windows

Wondering where I’ll go next

Understanding this was a part of the journey

not my final destination

Giddiness from starting someplace new

The same feelings that made me sign my lease

A really sweet girl greeted me on my first day

I’ll never have that encounter again

I still feel weird thinking about it

Full of energy, but also lost

Leaving home for a long vacation from my problems

Later noticing I packed them next to my scarves

They came out once the nights became chilly again

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

Feels like a distant dream

A dream I can get to in 19 minutes by car and no traffic
