future alone

So long to wait, so far to go.

There's the humanity in me, snatching at some semblance of control over it all.

Funny thinking back upon the past and realising that that used to be the future you knew nothing of and could only hope for the best for.

Someday, the future you now peer forth into will be the past you gaze back upon.

It makes me feel a little sad. Just a little. I'm learning.

I wonder how the echoes of my voice will sound in an empty house--white walls, varnished tables, so much space.
