Once Was, Once Is

The reason to reminisce, reminisce a past

A past I barely even remember

But I remember being small

Wanting to be things I don’t even know

I remember when no words

Need to be said to pass the time

I remember when a today

Passed away as a yesterday

With my full consent

I remember when I barely thought of living

And just did it without knowing

I remember a lot of other things

Which now seems like a montage

From a movie that was never meant to be

I remember the strangest things, don't I?

What made me know that it was past

Is that I remember how you didn't see me

As a stranger then.
