rolling over into a new world

there are ages

where we wake up and wonder

if we went wrong somewhere in the past

because when we wake up

no one is there.

what happened to that person we loved all those years ago?

where are they now

while we are here

blinking the sleep out of our eyes in a quiet room

why did we turn our backs on the life we could have had?

we didn't know then it was the one we wanted today

and now our today self

is mad at our self from the past

but how can you be mad

when you didn't know?

either way we pull the sheets back

and start another day

hoping we learned the lessons of our past

so our future self

might look back on our today self

and finally say

thank you

for knowing me
