The Question

You ask me, "Do you really 
miss him that much?"
Not the way you think, but 
I would have to say yes.
Do I think of him?
All the time.
Do I love him?
Yes I do.
Do I want him back?
No, no I don't.
It is nice to think
about your past.
It is nice to love
your past.
But, why live in the 
past, when you already
know what is going 
to happen?
So it is okay to dream
of what once was,
but live, live in the here
and now, you never
know what might happen.
