My heart knows of the past, scars remind it how it's been hurt.

It wishes to love and be loved.

It wants to believe in love.

It struggles with my mind.

My mind remembers promises broken.

It knows of dreams abandoned.

It recalls long talks of the future.

It sees past experiences in a different light.

Both ask, How could I know if this is real? Didn't I think the others were real? This feels different, or Do I just want it to?

The past blinds them to the present at times and makes the future seem million years away.
