People Change.
People Forget.
We move on our own tracks
and make our own opinions.
and make our own decisions.
We take steps on a path
which twists and turns and winds its way
into a map of memories
in which you can look back
to see footprints
you remember
and respect
and regret.
And over time
the footprints will fade.
We can not return but only look back
which is why regret is a dangerous thing
because it is hopeless
You could miss something to the side
if all you do is look back.
It is walking
up a downward escalator.
