The Past Only Lives Now

Even more so than the words of a memorable song
Wherever you go to your past with you goes along
Of the what used to be for you the mental images remain
Only in memory we can go to the past again
The now is what matters and the past it has gone
And of your happy and sad days only memories live on
We learn from the past as the wise one does say
But only the now does matter and the now is today
For our mistakes in the past some price we did pay
We learn as we live life works in this way
Time for us does not wait it keeps ticking fast
And at midnight today will be of the past
You retain mental images for you of the what used to be
And the past only lives now in your memory.
