4 years since...
Remember this day?
Drop all you're doing
& Reminisce of the ways
Time has both changed
& Escaped you at once
Countless lessons learned
All in one glance.
Revisit this moment
3 years since...
You were happier then
Not objectively
But you're convinced
That joy like that
Is too close to rare
3 years since...you laughed
More than your stomach can bear.
Spotlight on a day
2 years ago
The memories fade
But their shadows still show.
The time of confussion
Doubts & uncertainty
Then things getting better
Than you expected them to be.
... inevitably.
Memories together
Best of July, 2024
You know maybe this time
I don't want to remember anymore.
So dear google photos
Don't remind me
Of sometime ago today
Life is different now you see.
I'm in a different place
Both mentally & physically
Not sure for better or worse
But you force upon the opportunity
To compare & contrast
The current with younger me
A reality slap
When I'm least of all ready.
So I request kindly,
Dear google photos:
Please don't remind me
Of sometime ago today
Life is different now you see.
