7 Now. My Present

It's scary.

Because now that I stand before you.

You have suddenly become the past.

You are no longer my present.

And I will forget the past.

And I will forget you.

Tomorrow when I wake up, I will not remember you.

I will head back home.

I will find a job, buy myself a home.

Maybe even fall in love with a girl.

I will marry that girl and raise a family with her.

You know what?

I have just realised.

For the past few years, I have been deluding myself.

You were never my present over these years.

When we were children, yes, you were.

But later?

No, you were not, you were my past.

The only thing I didn't realise was that I was living in the past.

I am now in the present.

So I will ask you now that I stand before you.

Did you ever believe that we could be together?
