MINUTE


For a minute there,
I was years ago,
living a life
I never thought I'd leave behind.


I was back in the past
transported as easily
as that modern technology you always like.
I was reminiscing in 3-D
with no memory of the future I'd lived.
I couldn't predict the hope I'd squander
the dreams I'd distill
into cold hard reality.


For a minute there
I was back in the past
where I always wanted to be
with you
happy.


They always say
you cannot live in the past
but, I wish you could.
And I'm glad I did
for a minute there.
