Longing for the Past

 

Bottled up inside,

Are the words I never said,

The feelings that I hide,

The lines you never read.

 

You can see it in my eyes,

Read it on my face:

Trapped inside are the lies,

Of the past I cannot replace.

 

With memories that linger –

Won’t seem to go away.

Why can’t I be happier?

Today’s a brand new day.

 

Yesterdays are over,

Even though the hurting is not.

Nothing lasts forever,

I must cherish what I’ve got.

 

The hurt I’m feeling now,

Won’t vanish overnight,

But someway, somehow,

Everything will be all right.

 

No more wishing for the past,

It wasn’t meant to be.

It didn’t seem to last,

So I’ve got to set it free.
