You Are Not Here

You are not here 
but once were there
(It's a trick of time and space)
A moment gone and gone again
but you stopped and stared
Doesn't matter what you think
because in fact you thought
That was some time ago
time that's already lost 
There is no present
but what has passed
Now future, that's the thing
You see, it occurs in the past
a process called... thinking
So there you were
now you know,
reasoning here impeccable
All you did was stand and stare
really rather regrettable...

Sometimes at that moment you feel that why fate is so harsh with you but then it makes you actually focus on what is more right or what is more better for you
