The Past

what i was thinking about. decided to try and put it into a poem

can i change it?
or let it go?
would it change the future?
or how it flowed?

it hurts to look back
through the pain
but brings back the memories
of simply playing in the rain

the tears are still real
the feelings are still felt
some times were good
others my heart had melt

"forget it" they said,
"it was only the past
you cant change what happend
it was'nt meant to last"

but looking back it hurts
and i will never forget
the good times and the bad
along with memories of regret

i wish i could go back
changing what had been done
breaking all the things that happend
and the chances i should have run

but would things be different
for this second right now
or would things be the same
coming back together some how?

no one is sure
it's like the butterfly effect
they say it changes everything
leaving some neglect

but where would we be
without those thoughts of the past?
would we be where we are
while life is moving so fast?

no one is sure
but one thing i know
is it hurts to look back
and the feelings still show

the hurting isnt all bad
some laughs were shared
but the happiness that's lost
is also to be compared

so enjoy this second
this moment in time
and make it amazing
dont live between the lines

someday you'll look back
and wish you'd done more
make things happen now
so later your heart isn't sore

*sighs* Hmmmmm sooo true letting go of the past is always easier said than done and it truly has a way of lingering on and huanting us despite our best efforts. You did such a wonderful job conveying this!!! I loved it!!!
