But If You Close Your Eyes...

She walks through the same doors, but it doesn't feel the same to her. She enters the same, large building, but still, it doesn't feel right. She looks around, seeing the same two basketball half-courts, the same upstairs balcony, the same worn-out furniture, the same information desk, the same auditorium, hearing the same noises around her. But nothing feels the same. It feels empty.
Then her eyelids shut.
But if you close your eyes, does it almost feel like nothing changed at all?
And if you close your eyes, does it almost feel like you've been here before?
She opens them and sighs, tears threatening to spill over. How was she going to be an optimist about this?
