Recollection

"Recollection"

What if you woke up each day

With a clean slate

With no recollection

Of the previous day's events

Or an idea of your identity

What a great life that would be

With no lingering regrets

Or mistakes

Or hardships

Living each day like it's your last

Because each day is a lifetime

And each night brings a new one

But how lonely that life would be

For there would be no one to share

Those spontaneous moments with

Or your exciting achievements

Or your daily discoveries

Oh, how lonely it would be

To live without knowing love

For we can't appreciate the good

Without experiencing the bad

And we can't acknowledge the bad

If we don't remember
