Lost and Found

Gone.

I've lost it. 

A thing. 

Yes, a thing. 

Something. 

Something I hold dear. 

To me. 

Something I hold dear to me. 

It's escaped. 

that's right, escaped. 

Something I hold dear to me has escaped.
-

maybe.
-

I can't find it.
-

Or, maybe 

It's not gone.

Maybe my something hasn't escaped.

Maybe it's just new.
Perhaps it looks and feels different, too.
Perhaps I'm different.

Maybe, yes maybe.
