Some days seem to count more than others.
They bring with them memories that linger,
a moment in time we’ll never get back
but look back on with self-inflicted nostalgia,
as we capture a fleeting second of the occasion
to pretend it’ll always last.
Sadly, no image of the past,
however treasured they are,
is enough to fool my heart
into thinking I didn’t leave a piece of it
at the top of that hill.
