Rewind

I used to want to rewind to the times when nothing else mattered
When my heart was content and I had little care in the world
I would rewind and replay in slow motion those memories I wish I’d never forget
And press pause and enjoy those special times with people I love
People I never want to forget
I’d relish in the moments where all I would do is sigh in total bliss
And allow the good memories to fill me with joy and peace
I would fast forward through the painful moments
And delete the series of failed relationships, the string of hurt feelings and broken hearts
But that’s not reality
I can’t control what has happened, what is happening and will happen
I realize now that my experiences have made me into the woman I am now
And without the good and the bad I probably wouldn’t be where I am now
Thankful for the learning experience this journey has been
I’ve decided to just let life flow and enjoy the journey
