The past really is in the past.
It’s gone for good,
Never to be encountered again.
No prayer or plea will ever be able to bring it back.
My eyes sting with tears as I realize that the memories are all still intact.
I want to go back,
But I can’t.
And it hurts cause I know I can’t.
I made mistakes I want to fix them.
I have regrets I want to prevent them.
I want to tell my bestie that I’m sorry.
I want to study harder for that exam.
I want to tell that boy I liked that I’ll miss him.
I want to truly savour all the fun times I’ve had.
Now all the fun times are gone,
And everyone has moved on.
It feels like my mind is stuck in limbo.
Holding on too tight to the joys of yesterday.
I stand here at the graveyard where my past lies
Remembering how I spent way too much time dwelling on hard times.
I should have laughed harder.
Should have noticed much more
I should have told her “Your pranks are funny”
I should have joked with them like there was no tomorrow.
How time flies,
The past really is in the past,
And I can never go back.
There were bad times I know,
Things I ran from and I’m glad I escaped,
Problems I barely survived and too many issues at stake.
But at least my innocence was still intact.
At least my mind wasn’t as big of a racing track.
I tear up and wipe my tears away.
I sniff and sniff trying to keep my emotions at Bay.
I feel too much and I know it,
I think too much and I know I’m still growing.
It’s sad that it’s all gone.
But at least I know there’s more to come.
The future lies ahead,
A fertile land for eager and hard-working Farmers.
The past could be described as a test,
You make mistakes, learn from them and prevent future errors.
What’s gone is gone and will never ever be again.
But tomorrow is still there and there will be many more memories to share.
And I know it won’t be the same.
Like reading a new book, there’ll be new experiences, new characters, new locations for the stories I’ll tell.
So I’ll cherish the past but look forward to the future.
With hope that it’ll be an exciting adventure.
There’s this saying that “you don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone” It really hits different when you and your friends have to go separate ways. It’ll hurt especially if things are hard for you right now. But just remember that there are so many people and experiences you’re yet to encounter. Cherish your old pals but look forward to meeting new ones as well.
