The past lives with the intention of grasping you from behind;
hoping you’d embrace it like there’s no better time than last time,
so never let it go;
stay with it for just a bit longer,
and remember it quite and slow of how things used to be,
but put no emphasis on the, ‘used,’ since it kills the significance just a bit,
like a warm cup of coffee you left out for just too long,
and all you’re left with is just a cold,
sweet feeling falling deep into the pit of your stomach
that grows like a crescendo.
It’s here to stay,
and the present is not as great as yesterday
and the future feels fearful of change,
so replay it like it’s the theme song to your life and let it be embedded into your mind.
But if anything, if anything...
The past reminds us that history, that life
is always subject to change.
