I can only be here, but I'm pretty sure that you are there.

"There you are!"

"Do I know you?"

"No, but that's where you are, you're there!"

Actually I'm also here, but I don't see you.

When I feel blue in the night
And I need you to hold me tight
Whenever I want you
All I have to do is dream

I’m at the supermarket and my wife texts me “Where are you?”
I text back “I’m here. Where are you?”
She replies “I’m here too, why can’t I see you?”

You can never see or hear what's happening right now, only what happened in the past.

Now. You’re looking at now, sir. Everything that happens now, is happening now

What happened to then?

We passed then.

When?

Just now. We’re at now now.

Not anymore it's not. Back then, you were there. Before now. But now it's now, and you're here.
