Of yesterdays and todays

The years have gone by, many things have changed. So many times now, we try to pause and look back. Desperate, we have become to hold on to our pasts, an old picture pops up every now and then and reminds us of dear friends an simple times. Songs of old now mean much more than their lyrics can convey. A chance meeting with an old friend sends us spiraling down the memory lane.
We keep remembering our sudden partings, keep dreaming about joyous reunions. We plan trips to meet friends, plan celebrating festivals with family. We get together every once in a while and talk of the good old days.
Have I forgotten how to live in the present?
