Memories That Flash

I had some memories that took many years to be gone 
 and  they were always making me feel like I was in a nightmare 
or in the chorus of a sad song which was always repeating and never ending
   I know there would be days that I would just be  wishing inside my mind that I could see it disappearing in a flash but some how I would get caught up in the moment and start to  listen to the words hit me like I had crashed
Sometimes it would hit a nerve and a few tears would slowly flow before I realized that I have the control  and there is no need to think of things that have passed , no more memories can haunt me cause I do not want that life  back and  it may have been hard for me to cope since the day we started talking again 
And it took some time for me  to get over  the fact that not everything's is meant to last and I have learned as  get older seems people just keep turning colder 
I will always hold my head high knowing there is a reason that some people stay in your past and never making it  into your future, and I know that no matter what anyone tells me things will always get better and for once I am really happy 
even with each and every one of those  painful memories, 
cause I know that is no longer the life I live 
you had your chance and now I am his.
