Nothing bitter
about it
Only better than it

Never is an it is there?
Only thens and whens or befores and later.
I guess the it is now or was then but here it comes again
I'm missing it everytime.

not for much longer now
I can see it coming now

I'm getting better at it, then.
so when it happens, I'll know I can say
what it was like then and what it was yesterday

I won't recognize it tomorrow
It won't be the same and neither will I.
Now is before the was and the later
But I try and remember it.

not for much longer now
I can see it coming now
