Will they remember?

The day has come and gone. How do you know, because the sun set? Bu you awake realizing that nothing has changed. The "previous" day was supposed to be "the day." You've envisioned that moment when everything came together and your hard work paid off. The hard work has taken its toll however, and that is how you know. You look at your blistered fingers and calloused knuckles, and see now that time has indeed passed. You recall the days as they sat eager in your palm, ready to bring you all their joys, but sadly you could not capture them. Sacrificing so that others could realize it was their day to seize, you've let some of yourself slip away. Everyone around has moved on; everyone around you has built their future; everyone but you.
