If you live in the past you can’t live in the present.

You’re holding on so tight,

So afraid to just let go.

Always waiting for that moment,

Because of someone you use to know.

You’re holding so much back,

So afraid to give it your all.

Always standing on that edge,

Because you’re surrounded by this wall.

You’re holding onto the past,

So afraid to let yourself live.

Always pushing others away,

Because you wont allow yourself to forgive.

You’re holding onto the pain,

So afraid you’ll feel again.

Always searching but never find,

Because it’s now and not back then.
