a dream in the moment

You're in the moment. You wish it could last. But that thought keeps nagging you--it's going to end, inevitably. You feel elated, alive but can't shake the feeling that it will never come again. Those clichés sound just fine and dandy when you hear them bounce around, but when it comes to real life you can't forget the past, not worry about the future, and live in the moment. The moment's too good to last, and you know it. At least we have our memories. Without them, we are nothing.
