Missing life as it happens


Do you ever miss a moment

Before it's over?

Or a person

Before you leave them?

Do you ever miss a place

While you're still there?

Or a feeling

Before it's gone?

Do you ever miss the dreams

That you know you're going to forget?

Or the life you're living,

Knowing it will change?

I do.
