A collection of moments replaying in my mind.
Unable to pause the passing of time.
Life doesn't feel short when you're young,
Yet as you get older you realize you were wrong.
Beautiful moments you let pass by right by.
You see it with an array of other things on your mind.
So you don't really see it all.
What good is it if you can't recall?
Every beautiful flower I see,
any jaw dropping scenery,
It can be new but also something I've seen before.
I take it all in. I notice it more.
Every laugh from my lovers lips.
Every embrace and passionate kiss,
They are fleeting but important and precious.
I want to remember so one day i can reminisce.
Being present is one of the hardest things I've ever done.
How can I soak it all in when sometimes my brain blocks out the sun?
I concentrate. I meditate. Take note of how I feel.
Sit with my emotions even when the pain is very real.
A highlight reel of years past plays through my mind.
All the moments I wish I could relive please just one more time.
The people you think you'll live and die with by your side,
Sometimes they're no longer here but alive inside your mind.
And sometimes it feels nice, but sometimes it stings.
Whether literally or figuratively the death of any relationship brings,
An emotional roller coaster ride every now and again.
Living with the reality that you'll never see them again.
I want to feel it all.
I need to see it all.
I'll log it in my brain.
I'll carry the joy and the pain.
