Looking Back

How many times do we look back and see
Who we used to be.

How many times do we long for those days
Before going away.

When we were thin
When we were free
When we were young
When we were joy
Anger
Pain
Lust
Love
When emotions ran like rivers
When drama raged like war

How many times do we look back
And long for where we used to be

How many times do we miss what we have
What we've worked for
And earned.

Our lives are beautiful
No matter how much we've changed
No matter where we're from
Or where we're going
No matter what we've lost
Or what we've gained.

Look
Live
Love
Play.

But never regret
Never forget
Never want to relive
Never want to go back
Never regress
But live forward
Live ahead
Live life.
