Past Forgotten

Stop living in the past

And in the moments you forgot

Stop pushing forward away

And focus on what you’ve got!

Time is fading fast

Too fast for us to know what to do

If we cling to the pieces

That once made us whole

Then we will fall like ashes

And fade away, alone.

If we constantly reminisce

Of all "what if"s and "but"…

Then we will perpetually miss

What is standing in front of us

Once we take the leap

To accept our daily lives

Even the mundane

Will seem a surprise

The world was not meant

To lean to our demands

So lets control our own lives

And mold it in our hands.

Soak the present dry,

And find what makes you smile

Kiss the past goodbye

It has been gone a long while,

Keep your happy memories,

Frozen in your mind

Like Polaroid's, and silhouettes

You will someday think of kind.

I’ll put this aside

And think of here and now

(The grass isn’t always greener on the other side)

And someday I will learn how,

To love the life I have

And not strive for what’s been left behind.
