A friend of mine is out on a date with his wife. The situation reminds me of times long ago. Sadly, those times are gone forever for me. 
Don't misunderstand! Things are as they should be.
The world of love is a place for the young and innocent. When one is old, memories are sweetened with age.
I miss those late night dreams and conversations about the future. They are just different now. I am a dreamer. To me the future is bright. My wife was a realist who saw the future with anxiety.
Tonight I must visit my mother. She wants to talk about the future. She is also a realist who looks for answers today. I wish I could convince her she will be fine. I think she actually enjoys worry.
Back to my friend on his date. I wish him a happy memory of his outing with his love.
Live today and let tomorrow worry about itself.
Here is today's beauty. A few more memories a Long Time Gone.
