I Just Can’t Remember

You guys walk too fast, some of you are even running. None of us know how to slow down, since they tell us to keep moving forward. Some of you don’t even turn around once you have left. Soon you will regret knowing that there really is nothing left. It comes so fast that you can not even count it in numbers, you can barely see every part of it fly by you. How can we just simply close our eyes and go to sleep every night, then believe that tomorrow will be a new day when we won’t even remember yesterday. You can try to step back all you want, but what you step in has already been stepped on. The second time is usually not as good as the first, which is why we should have known to cherish it from the beginning. It seemed like just a day ago where I sat in the back seat, all of a sudden today I was driving. Just yesterday morning I was watching Sesame Street and learning the alphabet, this morning I watched the news about world crisis. My favorite blanky from a week ago, is now just a rag on the floor. Toys that I played with everyday in the past, has turned into storage box down in the basement. I’m scared for myself, I’m scared for all of us. Of course there are pictures, surely we still have memories but I feel like I’ve never grasped it. I just can’t remember, this time i had. Some childhood.
