the dissonance between what is and ought to be

stems as much from what we think the perimeters of ought are today

as from what you consider of relevance

a missed meeting one day may matter more

than all the hours, days and months we spent together

the length of moments is not measured by what we did or did not then

but what we remember of those moments

why do we remember only what pains us,

why are all the pleasant laughters forgotten,
