A Past I Never Had

I guess it wasn’t my choice
But I was born way too late
I never had the chance to live my dream
Watching an old Black and white movie
While sitting in a movie palace with 2,000 others
All enjoying the best acting and stories
Directed by the best directors ever
Yes I can watch them on my 60-inch screen
But it will never be the same
The atmosphere just is not there any more
I guess things do change of time
Is it my fault that I miss the past
A past I never saw and never will
