To remember the future

As time moves forward my mind stays behind.

In memories passed away my heart will always stay.

I seem to miss what's right in front of me because what is in front to me is behind and it just so seems that what's in front isn't kind.

If only I had the courage to let go and look ahead instead of behind maybe I wouldn't keep pressing rewind.

When I look at my watch I think "My how the time flies!", because it seems that the numbers there are just lies.

So many people say that I don't have a clue how fast time really goes but they don't know how fast time in my mind really flows.

Sometimes I don't think I'll live as long as long as I should because my mind has aged far beyond what I believe it could.

I have questioned things that my father has not and I have wrapped my mind around moons and stars and in knots.

But still the question I wonder the most is whether or not we will turn into ghosts.

I sit and I wait for an answer to be given and wonder if the answer is in this world that we live in.
