I Am Forgetting ...

Dear diary,

Today's rain beat loudly against my window pane,

I was transported to the old days on my thought's train.

The days which I am forgetting

Two years ago when their was no Corona Pandemic.

I am forgetting what it was like to study in a classroom,

our studies have turned quite monotonous on Zoom.

I am forgetting the bus ride to school,

the bumpy roads, big fields and the trees which we passed through.

I am forgetting the feel of the swimming pool,

the dives and the water's cool.

I am forgetting the long car rides,

to be stuck in a traffic jam and to take the stupid shortcuts.

I am forgetting the party with friends

dancing till the party's very end.

I am forgetting the big theater screen,

the whistles of the audience and the popcorn filled intervals.

I am forgetting the long morning jogs,

the cool wind brushing on my cheeks.

I am forgetting what the normal was like

My meeting begins and the teacher is teaching, a teacher who I have never really met.

Has my life always been like this?
