Have you forgotten me already?
Do you think me a part of your past?
I am not. I am eternal. I am here, now.
I will be tomorrow, just as I was yesterday.

In your mind, I dance.
In my mind, you stand still, staring.
Will you not move to claim me?
Will you watch as I strum the strings of time?

It passes, you know?
Time has a way of not stopping for your constant vicissitudes.
It goes on relentless.

How many what-ifs will you collect along the way?
You think you go on, rebuilding your life.
I see you hiding behind walls.
Remember to leave room to breathe, will you?

And remember to seize the moment, if not the day.
I may not wait for you, but someone else might.
Open your eyes wide,
And dream awake!
