i keep looking ahead
trying not to re-live
past memories,
past friendships,
words i never said,
and words i regret.

i cant help but re-live it
every once in a while...

its not good for me to
keep thinking about it,
my thoughts often linger
there for days after.

but i keep looking ahead,
because i know those
regretted words
and
bad memories
wont matter when i make
better memories
and say things
that make everybody laugh more
than before.
