Are memories not a part of life, my dear?  

There are many wonderful things that remain unknown to you  

Do you wish for it to remain merely a memory?  

In that moment, swiftly return to the past  

Do not blur the lines between the present and the future  

Should it not be kept separate from the present?  

Is it not sufficient to hold the past in memory with care?  

Let the Past Be the Past

Remember, but don't live there

Forgetting is the sole means to halt

Are memories not a part of life, my dear?

Yet, revisit that memory

Avoid lingering in the past
