Now and Then, What and When

We try to push it forward even though its moving back,
the future is the present that the past hasn't reached yet,
time will come to crush you while you think of all you lack,
the now we try to cherish is quickly turning into then,
the closer we come to the answer is when the question mixes white and black,
the grey will color everything so we can see the what and the when.
