Daydreaming about yesterday
Looking to the past
with the knowledge of the present.
Times that were forgotten
People that were lost
Sacrifices that were made
in order to compensate
for the changing world.
Moments that were shared
Fantasies that are long gone
Familiar voices that remain unheard:
silent words unuttered.
Problems that seemed as if
they would never go away.
Precious gifts, still kept safe
tucked away in some special place.
Board games, once used non-stop
now decorated with dust.
Photographs that still remain
shadowing the past.
Unopened letters strewn about
carelessly forgotten.
Memories of once existing places
are non-existent: replaced.
