I’m putting time and effort into hopeless dreams,
That I can’t ever think of fulfilling.
The people I love, the ideas- idealized
Have all been forgotten or left behind.
I keep trying and thinking of way to remember
But when everything counts there’s nothing ever there.
But, right now
I see myself standing alone
I thought that we were all together.
But nothing ever stays the same.
I knew this long ago,
But I must have forgotten.
Don’t let me blend in with the past,
I can’t promise that I’ll be there in the future.
