one day
who are you?
the future?
the present to be past?

laughs turned to smiles
with lingering thoughts of those

a cliché of greener grass
is torn from the book
i look to you
memories of others fading

who are you?
the present to be future?
a whispered, perhaps

future...
too far
too much
too soon

present...
one day, until tomorrow
one day to build
one day until one day
