I don't believe in living in the moment.

It's so much better living in the past, when you can go back and feel things you didn't catch while caught up in the whirlwind of time.
You can freeze smiles on faces you were too busy smiling yourself to notice, repeat laughs that were covered by your own;
You can create a story with one single memory, and you can chose what you want to see and when you want to see it.
So don't tell me to try to cling onto right now, because right now is already gone.
However, "remember when" is always there.
