Look Again

Next time you look back, look again:
it's only a ghost that's still chasing you.
Let it pass through your body so helplessly.
It's only a ghost, you can't feel its touch.

When you've looked again, don't turn back.
That ghost is the breath of a memory.
Don't let it catch up with your sanity
or you'll end up just chasing the past.

Great advice. People hear this all the time, say they understand but STILL aren't living this life
