Before, I was different.
Tomorrow, I will be different than I am today.
Even so,
I hope that I will remember what I was like
After today has faded into yesterday.
That I will not forget what it was to be me
In this present moment
Because once tomorrow comes, today will be forever trapped behind the pane of glass that separates present from past.
I want to remember how to feel that which can no longer be touched, to see that which is no longer visible, to hear that which is no longer audible.
Then, maybe
I won't have to spend so long staring through that impenetrable pane of glass
Because I will remember
