Cling

Draven

Don't cling on

To what you no longer hold

 

It's run its course

As the story's told

 

What you once had

Is now long gone.

 

Don't wear it out

Don't stretch the song.

 

Leave the past where it is

The future awaits

 

All it takes is one step forward

Through those daunting gates

    You are absolutely right. Although that one step is the hardest one, once it's taken the rest is easier.

    • Draven

      Totally agree. Sometimes it is just good to get going.

        It's a thing we all should do, dump the baggage. And even though she married that right boring guy, at some point you know she's coming back.

          Dumping baggage is the best!

          A brilliantly written poetic warning here Draven, as you've said, it's really important to realise when to start a new phase in one's life.

          Our pasts will always be part of us, but it shouldn't define us, as a glittering future is to come.

          Bravo, and I hope that all is well!
