Living in the moment

Since I was young, I always looked back with nostalgia
Missing the 'good ol' days'
Wishing I could have felt that appreciation during the time
Instead of just retrospectively

But I wonder, if I did,
Would I have been living in the moment?

Does taking time out to pause and reflect
Take something away from the experience itself?

There is a little solace in knowing that I may miss these moments later
I try to reduce my anger, sadness, regrets, anxiety
Knowing that one day, I might look back and think what great times these were

As the world keeps spinning
I am standing here, in the same spot
But all around me, things have slowly changed
And I stand here still, unable to leave, but for what?
What am I holding on for?
