Past.

Il fait froid en il pleut...minutes ago, I was so drenched, all I could think of  was getting warm as soon as possible. Now I'm  here tapping  my keyboard, all warm  n  cozy.... like I was never drenched in the rain. We all have tendencies to forget what we were, where we've been and who we met. Those that make a conscious effort to  learn and remember truly  live.

Its the centuries before this, the years before this,

months, weeks, days before this.

Its the thoughts before this, the choices before this,

decisions and actions before this.

Its the paradigms before this, the methods before this

beliefs and ways of life before this.

Its the feelings before this, emotions before this,

attractions and relationships before this.

Though prior, yet very much pertinent

how else can one grow old without former moments?

A great determinant of  ones today 

though tomorrow  may seem gray through the lens of yesterday,

the past is really history

with its lessons learned and re-written

or repeated for been forgotten.
