Secret Places

It is not quite what could be expected of us, so we do not go down to those places we still occasionally remember. They are not the places we hope to find again. We pretend there are no such places to find and that it is all lost and forgotten.

Anyway, the undergrowth has grown, covered those places we used to know. Those places have taken their secrets with them to other newer places for other younger ones, like the people we used to be.

We do not need the secret places any more; we can create our own world without secrets. But, looking back, we can see the vague shape of something we lost, and some choice we made that robbed us of those secret places where we first shared our own secret places with each other.
