What's Your History?

We do not know
the history
of the world.

It is hidden
behind
the thoughts of strangers.

We do catch glimpses.

Here and there.

Checking into hotel rooms,
buying food,
having a drink,
or sitting at the park.

History unfolds itself.

The lies,
the secrets,
the blessings,
the curses,
our stories
finally told.

There are no other records
for them.

Only what we choose
to keep
in our hearts.
