Will we go back around?
In circles
Like love-wrecked fools
How we feel
Day after day
I want you now,
Let’s not focus on forever,
Just today.
And tomorrow?
That’s a new day
When it comes, it comes
We’ll worry about it when it comes
We’ll be back around

I'm sorry; for some reason I couldn't really comment more than a few words on your other article. So I apologize if I was annoyingly brief and repeated comments. I also seemed to miss that your story didn't relate to you. Oops.

Ah, well said! Indeed, repition is what rules many of our lives. I loved reading this, for it seems true; its message says to enjoy the moment. I like the rhythm and wording,  so well done.
