Moments Passed

It's a moment in time,

rewinding the tapes help me get over the line,

filling the space with something lasting this time,

memories lost but forever stuck in my mind,

not how I saw it playing out but some things aren't meant to last,

just slick little memories tucked away from the past, 

launching me into an anxious fever dream,

nothing making sense so now I'm caught in between,

wishing it were different but it's ripped at the seam,

so now lost in translation is how the story is told,

I'm just fortunate enough to know what I know,

was never good at lying so I'll just let the story unfold, 

for the peace of mind since that's better than selling my soul,

lessons learned and a new chapter begins,

writing my own story as it's currently happening,

surrounded by people with the purest intentions, 

I reach for the top shelf,

and reminisce on the moments passed.
