Past and future

by

I deep dive into the past 

and swim toward the future 

I crave memories that do not exist 

I crave what may become

I don't live here anymore

traveling back in time 

and jumping much ahead 

no wonder why I'm barely surviving 

I have no home here 

My mind is lost in the then and when

"I crave memories that do not exist" now there is an intersting and original line - I think that are many people that will identify with that one -

and then "my mind is lost in the then and where" -

Thank you for this one.
