Both?

Will I be always reaching for the memories

Instead of grasping the present laying itself in my hands?

I should’ve let it go

Let what ifs stay what ifs

A beautiful memory

But I tried to hold on to the past

the present saddened me to letting go

The memories all muddled

Another rose I crumpled

Another diamond turned to stone

Another bursted bubble

Another beauty gone

I could’ve turned this flower to a paperweight

And kept it by my side

But my selfishness encompassed me

My ego couldn't hide

I couldn't get out of my own head

Now you're drowning in mine

It's like chocolate without sugar

Coffee without cream

I now know it will never work out

But I still see you in my dreams
