Dreams of a Distant Past

Lately my dreams have felt like flashbacks of a distant past. They keep bringing up feelings and memories that are, I guess, best left in the past. For one thing I'm dreaming of when I worked at the Gap, so I found myself going there today and running into the store manager and other friends. (Katie and I spent 3 hours (ACK!!) trying to find skirts for choir, which is why I was at the mall in the first place.)

Anyway, the reason for the "Bereft" poem is the same reason I'm saying goodnight with this one tonight. I live for today and for the future, but I can't help but remember how I got here and who helped me along the way. Don't know why, I'm just in "I miss things" mode lately.

It's So Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday (Boyz II Men)

How do I say goodbye to what we had?
The good times that made us laugh
Outweigh the bad.
I thought we'd get to see forever
But forever's gone away
It's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday.

I don't know where this road
Is going to lead.
All I know is where we've been
And what we've been through.
If we get to see tomorrow
I hope it's worth all the wait
It's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday.

And I'll take with me the memories
To be my sunshine after the rain
It's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday.

And I'll take with me the memories
To be my sunshine after the rain
It's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday.
