Been There, Been Here Effie Hallford

Been There, Been Here is a long poem examining the relationship between a person's internalized sense of experience, and experiences of those she loves. It is written like a meandering river, as it delves into how at some sense love is a feeling of knowing where someone has been, and knowing where you are in relation to their place and time. Love builds and wanes and often she questions herself, but in the love, becomes just a question. Where are you now? Because I have been there, and I have been here. And I am trying to understand where you are, and how you see the world, however messy it may be.
