Back then
there was only now
the days seemed to last forever

Now they fly by
Back then seems like yesterday
as today races towards tomorrow

Back then is important
as long as tomorrow isn't spent
think of just back then.

I've better things to do
more to feel and write
more to live.

Back then is in Black and White now
Today – color
as tomorrow moves to many shades of green

But let us not forget the reds and oranges
Fall was my favorite season back then
and it is now and will be – always

But thank you for reminding me
of Back Then. Good Night.
