Something that was.

Nothing stays forever
hold on to what you have while it lasts
for tomorrow it might be gone

Hold it close
wish for another day
but let it go when it should go away

Memories left behind
a trace of what was the past
a past that will never happen again

A happy time
brings tears when it's gone
a sad recollection of what is no more yours

Time changes everything
what if you don't want it to?
sometimes some time is all you need to move on

All you need
but what about all you want?
when what you want is not what you need to get better

Want for worse?
want for promises to remain unbroken
things to fall in place, not into pieces

Just another day
searching for what you missed
knowing it's not yours to look for anymore.
