Don't look back

Don’t look back.

It's been a long time since I saw you last,

But here you are again, my blast from the past.

Nothing to regret about the way that you left;

I was glad to see you go, because with you went all the stress.

We exchange pleasantries and maybe reminisce,

But all I can think is, oh my God!  When will you leave?

I have already moved on and you are just holding me back.

Eventually we say goodbye and I can finally relax.

Old memories are best forgotten;

Taking steps backwards will always end up rotten.

Repeated mistakes will only leave you to break;

So never go back to what you know or it will end up the same.

Nothing ever changes, history is resolute.

Don’t believe the truth; this is my truth.

Feelings come and go, so let them just go,

Because at the end of the day…everybody goes…
