We are taught that the past is the past
But shall always remain with us
Teaching us those little lessons
That become trapped inside our heads
So in times of chaos
We can remember the familiar treads
As to not step upon ancient history
And repeat what was said
Learning to forgive
Yet never to forget
Finding that reason to live
And living with no regrets
Cherishing every single moment
While breathing in the memories
Knowing, that some day
Away they will begin to slip
Leaving us here
To hold on to what is left
Seconds become minutes
Those minutes become days
Before we know it
Time begins to fade away
Dreams become heavier
Leaving reality astray
But knowing that you’ll always be there
Even through thick and thin
Makes everything worth while
You’re like a breath of fresh air
We are taught that the past is the past
But shall always remain with us
So here’s to you my love,
The memories we’ve created
And the memories that lay ahead
