[⬅️Past perfect⬅️]


We all fail victim to the Nostalgia Bias
As if all the good and worth while things happened are the things of the past
We often find comfort in reminiscing about the yesteryears with rosy retrospection,
Funny how these roses have no thorns in our imagination


We find it easy to build our homes,
Right there, where the past belongs
couse the bus fares are high for our frequent visits to the "back in the days"
And with every trip it gets harder to leave
So why not live , if you can't leave? Ha

Soon we start getting consumed building bricks now
for our new mansion in the past, see the paradox?
Even the stincky parts of past get swept under the box
couse this is the past and only perfect resides here
and who cares about technicality when you are the lead engineer

Nail a framed mirror to the walls of your living room,
Let it be hanging
Can you see a reflection there?
Well, that is you clinging

Cause this is the past and perfection is the mother tongue
Put down your hammer
Time to learn some grammar
Ever heard of the past perfect tenses?
That is what has been messing with our senses

We sentimentalis the past, maybe that is why we have past perfect tenses... Perfect is an illusion but that is the human condition

And if that the case, good to remember the present perfect and future perfect tenses exist too
Even tho they sound more like an after thought, they might as well be just as true


I am just saying
