Janus

You have memories to look back on today
The people you used to be
The lies you used to believe
The truth you used to hide

You have memories to look back on today
The clothes you used to wear
The sizes you used to be
The games you used to play

You have memories to look back on today
The places you used to live
The cars you used to drive
The jobs you used to do

You have memories to look back on today
The songs you used to sing
The things you used to fear
The dreams you used to have

You have memories to look back on today

You have memories to make today
The people you want to be with
The person you want to be
The memory you want to become

I wrote this today after watching The House of Small Cubes, an Oscar-winning short animated film where and old man takes a deep dive through his memories, and then being hit by a succession of Facebook reminders about all the people I used to be.
