Our Past Follows Us

It has followed you like it has followed me
Wherever we go to  our past follows us would you not agree
It even lives in us in our memory
And will be with us till death whenever that be
You may think that you have left your past behind
Only to find it does live in your mind
It has followed you from the far away town
To where you did live when your hair was dark brown
Though in reality from you they live far away
The people you knew there you see every day
The mental images of them in your mind remain
And in your flights of fancy you see them again
In reality the past to the forever gone
But in our mental images it does live on.
