Tricky Bastard

the mind
is such a tricky bastard.

it plays with our memory.
it creates it's own reality.

when i rember
the way it was with her,
it's seldom the way it was
with her.

my memories seem to blend
the times when we were truly together
with the times when we were together,
but apart.

an illusion of things being so perfect.

but, it's only an illusion.

the reality is that we were apart together
more than we were together together.
i don't know why that was.
maybe i'll never know.

but i do know
that the way i remeber
is not the way it was.

that's only the tricky bastard
playin' with my memory.
creating it's own reality.

Terrific write, Steve! I've been there. The older I get, the more the mind forgets.
