Previously, Reimagined

Think of any place you’ve lived
That you were relieved to reach,
Any employment you’ve had

You were overjoyed to land,
Any romance you began,
Delighted to be in love—

Maybe looking back at it
Now, you’re glad you’re out of it,
And yet, you have to admit

That at the time it made you
Happier than you could have
Previously imagined.
