Living In the Past

Folder: 
Book II: Part I

There is no past

But we all have to live there,

Don’t stay there forever

And don’t act like you don’t care.

The past brings a smile

The best of times with friends,

Everlasting moments

With your everlasting trends.

The past is what made us

And at times would almost break us,

The past made us friends

So don’t let it take us.

Think about the get togethers

And all the nonsense drama,

Now you want to laugh

Because it’s not the present trauma.

The past had it’s daily routines

And playing the sport you play,

All the ridiculous things you seen

And ridiculous thinks you’d say.

There are just moments that last

Even if they are now your ex,

They can never be forgotten

Just like the next.

The opposite sex rejection

And it’s always almost,

Decision and bad selection

These are the times to which we toast.

You cannot beat the memories

And the people who share them,

I hope you all remember me

And the memories when we have them.

It’s living in the past

That makes the present now,

But don’t live there forever

Or the present will be how?

Let’s make the present the past

By creating the best of times,

The past is going to grow on us

So pray it grows for all of time.
