Memories

No matter where I go,
They seem to always follow,
Memories of the past,
Which I wished stayed behind
It seems that they love to follow
No matter where I go
There's no sense in hiding,
Since they seem to know where I go
I might as well face the fact 
That they are always going tMemorieso follow
Even though I try to keep them far behind
They seem to be with me 
Where ever I go
I might as well get used to the fact
That they are always going to follow
Or at least until I find a way
For the memories of my past to lead the way
So that for once 
I will be able to follow on the path 
That will lead me to a bright and happy future
Or I could try to forgive and forget 
The people who have brought the memories to my life,
Even though that doesn't seem likely for me to do so
