The Past

Saw an old music video today, from 2009.
Those days were great, such a lovely time.
But happy memories came flooding back.
So tears they fell while watching that track.
Funny how some music can do that to you.
I tried in vain to watch that song through.
Look the past in the face, leave it all behind.
Take on the challenge, the strength to find.
But before long I soon realised it wasn't to be.
The past proved again, it's got a hold on me.
