Moving On

So many emotions flooding my head
So many missed memories
And so many hurtful ones too

I want to reach out
And rekindle the past
But I know it burnt down many years ago

I still long for those friendships
So many things unresolved
But its time to move on

Time to move on
To family
To relocation

I didnt realize how much this would change
How much I would lose
How much I would gain

I want to reach back out
And extend my hand
But how do I know someone will be there

Life is happy now
Life is good
Yet I long for the memories

Its time to be locked under lock and key
Time to be stored away
But not forgotten

Locked and put aside
Out of harmful way
But still always a memory

Now is the time to move on
And I have to take my heart with me
