Today Is Better Than It Seems

I don't look back.
 It makes today okay.
 I forget the near-perfect past.
 I knew it wouldn't last.
 I can black out the memory
 of something more impressive.
 I'm just that much happier
 being a little more submissive.
 Today everything is ideal:
 everything I am, everything I feel.
 I can't remember better dreams.
 Today is better than it seems.
 I can't recall
 that dream-like December...
 snowball fights
 under multi-colored lights.
 I wouldn't even recognize
 that look in your crystal eyes.
 My life is now.
 I wouldn't remember how.
 Today everything is ideal:
 everything I am, everything I feel.
 I can't remember better dreams.
 Today is better than it seems.
 I don't really worry
 that you'll be back to remind me.
 You wouldn't have a clue
 how to even find me.
 Things are different now.
 I finally figured out...
 just celebrate today.
 Things are better that way.
 Today everything is ideal:
 everything I am, everything I feel.
 I can't remember better dreams.
 Today is better than it seems.
