You cling to the past
but with each day that passes you feel it slipping from your grip
more and more
until all you have left seems to touch you in the form of
flashbacks
deja vu
dreams
anything to remind you of what once was
sometimes you wish you could tighten your grip before it's too late
but it is too late
the memories you have
of that person
of that relationship
can't be brought back
too much has changed
too much has happened since then
that person
that relationship
no longer exists
so why torture yourself over something you no longer have any control over?
because if you could go back you would've done things differently
I wouldn't have gone back to *** until I was healed that way our second chance might've lasted a lifetime
I would've left *** after the first red flag so I could look back and appreciate all of the good without all of the bad
I would've given xxxxxx a real chance regardless of my fear of being hurt
but I can't go back and neither can you
so this is an ode to my past
thank you for teaching me endless amounts of love lessons
thank you for forming me into the person that I am today
thank you for letting me have control in where I leave you
and where I leave you is right here
no further will you go along this journey with me
I hope you understand
