Has been. Why is that? Was water what we wanted when we worked with windows? Alliteration.

Things change, people grow up. What was is no more. Whatever we were, however that ends. One longs for more of course. Is what was more important that what is? Yes, what is is just a fraction of what was. What was is everything there ever was, what is is just this, this infinitesimal sliver of time you know, eh.
