You saw him going
You told him not to
But he looked back and smiled
And you knew his mind was made up
No matter what you said he was going
Your tears, your pains, did not matter
“Why did you leave me so alone?”
“What if you didn’t go that day?”
The ‘whys’ and  ‘what ifs’ you always ask
The answers are never to be
For what is in the past
Lies in the past
Forever without a care
You realized you couldn’t change that
What has happened cannot be changed
But the future can be BUILT
To look back means
You’re turning your back on the future
The past is what has gone
The future is what is to come
You choose where you rather be
A hurtful past or a changeable future.

Every action of our lives touches some chord that will vibrate in eternity.

Powerful poem, I can relate to this. Sometimes I get hanged up in the past and I ignore what should be done in the future. i liked this and I hope to read more from you, oh and I like your signature.

Give her two red roses, each with a note. The first note says "For the woman I love" and the second, "For my best friend."

Enjoyable poem. Very nice. I liked it. And I agree, the quote is great.

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

To live in the past is defenitely wrong, but to look to the past is not.  This what allows us to learn and move on into the future the right way    Wonderful poem, thanks for sharing

So long lives this, and this give life to thee."  W.S.

Thanx, you all liking this poem means a lot.... This poem was written from myself to myself  .... It was a wake up call and it truly made me turn my life around. To know that it's also appreciated by you all means that this poem isn't appreciated by me alone.
Thanx once again for the support.
