if a picture paints a thousand words
a single word might just say it all
goodbye comes in a single syllable
signs in a single wave of the hand
or in a final turn of the face
letting go of the past could be so easy
if only you could just.....let go
holding on the a past that can never be
makes you age faster than time allows
once the past finally escapes your grasp
you realize the wrinkles, the aches and worst of all
the time lost that can never come back.
