what we forget about the best times of our lives

Remember how much you've forgotten
before you decide how much of life
to give up on, and throw away. Remember

how unexpected almost every one
of all of the bests
you have ever had,
really was at the time.
How you couldn't believe

it was happening to you,
while it was happening.

Please note, at this moment
you do not expect
anything like that, ever again.

Just as you didn't then.
So when have you ever?
Now as then,
you can't ever believe

that it was or it could be happening.

That's how it is, in the time between.

But who
knows what
tomorrow will bring?

Clichés, most like.

More of the same.

Same verse,
Same verse,
on the way

to a different refrain
