The moment



So what if these moments
Are filled with sentiments,
That will lead to an entanglement.
But I'm scared of the level of attachment I will attain,
Because detachment is inevitable.
And the heart want what it wants,
So there's no convincing it to think otherwise.
That's the saddest thing about it
We all impose what we don't want
On what we want.
We try to embalm reality with ideologies that are irrelevant and call it choices

But I'm going to forget about all of it and focus on the moment, because that's what matters.
