Define.
What is the past and what is the future? Is the past written in the future or the future written in the past? As humans we believe whatever happen in the past brings the future. Things like memories can not be in the future if it didn’t have the past to write it and the future knows no memories if the past was not there.
We alway blame the past for things that did not go our way in the future. Whatever it was a love one that we never told how we felt back then only to blaming the condition that we was giving in the future. Many of us lie to ourself that the future is not here and so we think to ourself that we are living in the past.
Self.
Life is full of suprises that you can not expect what will happen. I have to admit the past really impacted my future. Who knew I was going to actually join the military if something didn’t impact me so much. When I look back in the past I wish I had did many things differently. I blame myself now because I wasn’t able to express myself like I wanted to but was I right for blaming the condition?
She was my inspiration, she was the life I wanted, she was the person I’ve dream of taking care of no matter how things went. Now here I am in the future after the storm settle down, I can see her now walking towards me. But she’s not walking by herself anymore neither I’m I. But we seem to be walking a parallel line as if we was living in the past. I thought to myself this can’t be a dream, she so in my reach but yet so far. Have she move on because it has been so long, how about me, have I jump in a relationship because my heart was so hurt.
I’m I being selfish and unfair to the person I’m with. She don’t deserve me because my heart isn’t at the right place. I’m living in the past because all I know is the memories I still have and believe. The women of my past walks with me, her soft calm voice relaxes my heart. I feel as if I’m rewritting the future as if she never left.
Poem.
She walks down the same river,
Still tosses a pebble,
And looks for the ripples,
She has always been a loner,
And on the other side of,
the river was a friend,
She has not been able to swim,
across the river.
for she was afraid of drowning.
She stares at the river,
Indifferent mass of water,
That has wickedly changed its color,
No longer transparent.
As the sun begins to,
kiss the sky,
She looks across again,
Her friend looks back,
and stick his hands out.
She begins to put her feet in the river
To fight her fear of drowning,
But river current was strong,
She gets out,
And she begins to think
about acrossing again.
The agony of deciding if she cross or not.
Do she crosses or do she stays.
While he waits across the river.
