Dear future,
If I could journey beyond what's known,
I'd unlock mysteries as yet unknown.
Jeez, you are a master at keeping secrets
And bad at letting them go.
You don't show concern about me now
You're aloof, waiting for me there.
You make me guess at what is to come
And plan for what I don't know.
You watch me blunder through
Yet gain from my mistakes.
- I wish I had what you have*
So I'll know which paths to tread.
I try to catch up
But how can I?
You've got knowledge
That would make me better.
You've seen things
I can only dream of.
And yet you stay silent
Until you become my present.
In my dreams you reach out to me
But what you say never gets to stay with me.
You use codes and symbolism to talk to me
But I don't get it cos it's still in the future.
But I know you hear me
And understand me so much better.
So if by being me
You get to be a better you
I'm gonna give this my best shot
And hope it turns out right with you.
