summer: in time

In time you'll find
that everything seems fine.
In time you'll find
the places you left behind.
In time you'll find
memories of many kinds.
In time you'll find
the wrongs that became right.

Why worry about tomorrow
when tomorrow you'll have today?

Coming back to this, I had the first 4 lines written (with some stuff in between that no longer fit) and realise that what I feel now is somewhat different. I think in the last year or so, I've gained a certain optimism towards life that was probably always latent, that little glimmer of hope that always coloured my cynical comments in the most contradictory way (Like when I say: "I'm sure this will turn out horribly" but with a tone that belies by hope that it won't). Being in a long distance relationship has made me rediscover the importance of memories, of how they can keep us going when sometimes good times feel so few and far between.
