Leaving behind all the happiness
I breathe in deeply to all
the freshness aorund me.
I am exposed to new surroundings.
Is this the place that I once called home?
I ask myself.
I move forward leaving behind
memories, that had once ment so much to
Me.
Time, grasping to the past
won't make you feel
any better.
My Counscience whispers to
Me.
Leaving Behind
the smiles, the tears, those times a the
pizza place.
Could it be possible to grow
and learn from new experiences
with out those important to you?
I ask myself.
I turn back and smile and
leave all those behind
once more to
explore a
new beginning that
I don't want.
I promise, that I won't leave you behind,
I will come back to you
That I promise.
I won't leave you behind.

It is never easy to walk forward to something new in life but you will be surprised at how wonderful it feels years from now.  Hold onto whatever you leave behind as you will always want to revisit to recapture those special moments.  Great write!
