When you walked away
I was struck instantly
By familiarity
Deja vu
Deja vu
This time me
This time you
Not as we were
Not much left to be
And maybe
It’s just easy
To lose
The ones you hold
So loosely
Slipping away
Slowly
Slowly
Day
By day
Until all that remains
In your hands
Is the residue
Of the memory
I think that pineapple is delicious on pizza. There are people who would agree with me on that, others who would argue vehemently that pineapple makes a horrible pizza topping and even the concept disgusts them. Someone very close to me loves pineapple and would probably enjoy it on pizza just as much as I do if he hadn't acquired a serious allergy to it that would make him regret it for days.
You may be wondering what any of this has to do with the poem. Some people are like cheese on pizza. Just about everybody likes them. Some are like pineapple on pizza. They have equally passionate fans and haters. Often as you grow and change, you'll notice a few toppings that you used to really enjoy are no longer right for you. Similarly, you may stop being right for someone else's pizza (and that can be tough to accept). Either way, if your heart says you should hang on to that old recipe, you can try to do some inner work and find new ways to connect. If not, it may be time to let go, accept change gracefully and find something new.
Peace ☮️.

Very good reflection and what a good example you put with the Pizza, sometimes we have to make changes or vary and if it does not work the best thing would be to step aside, thanks for sharing it.
And thanks for reading my stuff! Even something as simple as a pizza topping can teach us something ☮️👍
Your poem talks about an exprerince that can be very common, but you approach it in a peculiar and creative way, using sound and rhythmic resources that make it very attractive. Thanks and best regards, @elementm.
Thanks for your support and for looking at this poem so deeply ☮️

Deja vu
Past, present and the future
In this time
Interesting take ☮️
I love the way you related the pineapple and pizza comparison to the poem. The fact remains that you will at a point get tired of some things you used to love. However, instead of doing away with that, there are other things you can add to spice it up and make it lovable.
Nice one
Thank you 😃! I feel like the trick is to know which "toppings" you can (and should) salvage, which ones you might just need a break from for a while and which ones were probably just there to teach you something at that point in your life. ☮️👍
Nice trick I think... I think I will try that out.. Hope it works for me
