Tête-à-tête

Today, I had a conversation with my yesterdays. He spoke like an old friend, saying 'Remember the time when we...' before each sentence, and pausing in reminiscence after each one- eyes fixated, looking into the distance. Was he looking into the future, seeing a version of a 'What if..?'? Was he having a conversation with his yesterdays, a wistful smile dancing momentarily on his lips? Or was it a frown, a reminder of the pain them yesterdays brought forth? As we delved deeper into the dialogue, a ping awoke me from my reverie- 'Hi', it said. From miles away, he had heard my whispers.
