I left, but I can't regret it.
I'm happier, fuller, whole, even complete. Intrepid. To the life I left behind I cried. I'm sorry. Wept, even mourned But the life I left behind me died. What was present is gone simply disappeared and never again will appear for the future is shining yellow and closer than I first feared. The world moves so fast I sometimes have but a single minuscule second to grasp that tiny slice of air to breathe fill my lungs. Oh, but I'm happier, fuller, whole... or so it seems. Will I one day awake to find it was all a dream? The things I thought happened never really did But drifted away from me like lightning in the sky and burning fire on a stream. To the present I live The future I follow. Like the moon calling to the night the sea to the sky people to places non-discovered wrong to right. For fear is lost and gone for good. Seeming to ponder my dreams I feel pensive Hoping and praying for the things I should. My past lurks behind but in the distance I see The inspiring light The things I will find. A wisp of pain to push me onwards past the grey skies that cloud my soul Knowing there are thoughts to gain. Will I always be chasing a star? Following a disappearing hope? Leaving scars. Love is lost and stopped for a time until I'm paused to rejoin from what was previously far. When this too, passes When I'm fully complete I'll stop to see stop to think. I'm fuller, happier, whole... or so it seems. I'm right behind you dreams. I'll tell myself 'don't look back, its gone for a reason' There's so much more to find. To the life I left behind, Goodbye.
