Walking Backwards

I have spent too many years 
Walking backwards
Trying to retrace my steps
Looking for you
But every place I have gone
Has changed
It seems that nothing
Ever remains the same
And no one 
Except for me
Remembers you

And though 
They call me a fool
And tell me 
That it’s impossible
I still believe 
That you are out there
Somewhere 
Doing the very same thing
Walking backwards
Looking for me

One of my teacher's always said We live our lives forward but ever looking back.
