We all got past the past
Though we still hold on to tender pieces
The ones that make us smile
You remember those, don't you?
If you don't, I'm sorry
Those will be my memories for this and my next life time
Moments no camera can capture
Despite all the pain, it can't wash it out of my head
The smiles, the laughter
The long drawn out talks
Not wanting it to end
But realizing in the end, it all came for a reason
Making me who I am
Making me what I eventually will become
For better, for worse
Memories for my lifetime
Childhood thoughts, wismical dillusions
Not wanting to let them go
Not going to, if only holding on in the mind's eye
Friends, lovers, strangers that made a connection
Something to me
You don't remember some, and some I too forgot
Holding on to whats left
Remembering abscure not so important things
Making though the most impact on my heart
Kindness never forgot
This is who I am now
The past not in the past
The future held in my hands
