Life repeats

History rhymes

Time follows this pattern

Seconds

Minutes

Hours

Days

Weeks

Months

Years

The Past

Influences

Now and forever

Memory fails us

The Past becomes

A distant memory

We reach out

Calling for it back

Sometimes we found what we've lost

Sometimes we have nothing but

Empty space where laughter

Once was

Yet

The cruelest one to date

Is to lose

What was found

But even the Past longs for the Present

To relive events He himself will soon lose

He looks to Humanity

Hoping to have them recover

What he cannot
