Penannular

Almost 

Almost back to where we started

an incomplete circle from where I met you

the coffee shop (since closed/replaced)

now the newest in a chain of vitamin stores

the signs say:

Start your Life Over 

I'm happy to meet you here

but to be honest

I'm hoping for something less

drastic
