do you remember,
Not the past,
But the future
you know, tomorrow
Not yesterday.
Now at this point
You don't understand me
So let me clarify
what I mean by
remembering the future
Is remembering what you planned
What you wanted to be
What you wanted to do
When we children
We planned our lives
As if we were writing a story
And like most great authors and poets
Such as Emily dickinson and Jk Rowlings
We wanted it to be an adventure
We wanted our lives to be action packed
Little did we know they would be
You see our lives have changed
We use to be so innocent
And we used to have dreams
But now our dreams are nightmares
And the only thing we can see in our future
is the inevitable death that we all will face
But we didn't know that
When we were growing up
All we knew was that we
along with many others
Wanted to make our family proud.
How would we know
That one day the adventure we planned
would never take place
How would we know
That one day we would lose the ones we loved
How would we know
That one day we will lose what we hold close
How would we know that one day we
Along with all of our friends
Will one day lose our lives
That's why we have to remember the future
You see without the future
we have nothing to look forward to.
And without the future we wouldn't be here
Without the future our lives have no meanings
Without the future there is no us
