So you say it's hard to watch people change,
But it's not really.
It hurts to see someone grow apart from you
But you're changing too.

What hurts isn't to see someone you know
Become someone you knew
It's worse to accept
You can't know if what someone used to be
Is what they remember too.

To hold a memory close to your heart
Is different than seeing a memory ripped apart.

You say it's too hard to get over the past...
But it's not really.
It's much worse to realize
The past really doesn't last.
