chasing

It's hard isn't it?

I yearn for the past, 

try to recreate a feeling that's long gone

but the thing is, 

once it has passed,

it's as tangible as the memory once was.

So now I am stuck.

My scream sounds in all directions

but it's not as loud as the echo moving farther away from me.

I run backwards trying to reach for something 

that is running away from me just as fast.

It's like I've disconnected from what could happen 

just so I could chase whats already past.

I don't know why I can't just live now.

but i'm so focused on recreating something from then

that I miss the new things I've already made.

and that is how you waste a life.
