Echoes From Afar

Moving On

So I left my past behind
Every memory buried in the ground
Secured in a locked treasure chest.

One step forward
I replace the past with the present
Each breath taken
I hold dear lessons I have learnt
Who I am has been
Shaped by who I was
Yet never defined by what I did.

Friends I have made
Lovers I have lost
Values I compromised
Regrets I have to live with.
I look back but never glance behind
Goodbye old friends
We were and now we are not.
Farewell dear old love
For I once held you
Today you are a memory.
Take care dear future
I will worry of you tomorrow
Today I live for now
