Don’t look back!
You may think it’s wise,
but you’ll get slipped out of your track.
You’re supposed to be looking ahead,
even when the past wasn’t that bad.

There are ugly things too,
ghosts of the past that won’t stop haunting you.
You know what to do.
You know what can turn you all black and blue.

Okay, fine.
You may look back,
but there’s no point in retreating backward.
What’s done is done.
Let ‘bygones’ be ‘bygones’.

Missing the past?
Feeling lost?
Well, nothing lasts
only memories
old stories in hearts and minds…
