If only for a day
That sentiment pulls me through
If just for today
But when the caffeine wears off
And I’m slowly fading away
Those words won’t carry me
Very far
The words she said
About my youth
About how it was for me
They did it for me and in that moment it saved me
If only for a moment
One day
Almost a whole day
It’s true
It got me through
So thank you
But the reality of to- day
Still remain the same
Nostalgia and trauma
Aren’t they to blame
They can keep you stuck in this place
In a certain way
To love also means to let go
And to say goodbye
to the past
to a past
that no longer matters
Past dreams were empty schemes;
As I age, My past is automatically dying;
More obvious I was designed for the future;
Yet I remain in the present;
where good words and a hand over my heart,
Gets me through.
