"Stop waiting and be free. Of me- put me deep inside you and then go out in the world and live. Love the world and yourself in it, move through it offers no resistance, as though the world is your natural element." -The Time Traveler's Wife

My heart yearns to go back to the past.
My mind replays the memories,
The good and the bad.
My blue eyes turn grey when I view the photographs.
My knees feel weak when people talk about it.
The tears come streaming down my face,
And I look up at the stars wishing
The past would be right here with me now.

After three months of attempting off letting go, I needed to write what I am still feeling.
