Amnesia

Moments differ from memories

For their differences in speed

Looking back,

We have spent little time 

Enjoying our time together

And we have lost too much

Trying to find the next second

To memorize its details

Not seeing it as a thief

Of its predecessor 

Once we realize our loss

We turn too soon to remember

The edges of our past being to fade

The crisp imagery blurs

Becoming but a faint familiarity

Unwilling to part with it

This monumental second

We push on for more

Turning even more moments

Into unforgiving memories
