Every birthday is a reminder of one year gone
It goes into oblivion and often feels very forlorn
Its memory tears you away from the present
And as they say old is gold so we 'today'resent
It happens to the best of us without exerting will
Its been going on since eons this involuntary drill
Napoleon could not forget Desiree,she was his youth
like him we cannot forget our 'have beens' thats the truth
So to delve into your past and wallow and idle there
Is no sin but a natural normal way to live and fare
when you remember your old sweetheart girl or guy
Make sure you live your memory and don't even try
To cut it short or put it behind because its a reality
Once upon as large as life and not a mere triviality
Don't fight it ,carry it along as no one likes being left behind
So be aware of your present but to your past be not unkind
