Maybe

Crying won't bring anyone or anything back
Look: to you, they are dead. Be happy, for they live still to others
Over-dramatics keep you from progress, like they make..
Somewhere, perhaps, there is a milestone still for you to reach
Endure the uncertainty, and, if you are blessed, it will be worth it, somehow, someday..

Perhaps I need to completely banish the past from my head. I think it is coming to a point where that is the only feasible thing to do.. Yet look at me! I am the queen of sentimentality! I am more liable to smile at an old, dead, forgotten, small, joyful occurrence than an even larger one I may be currently undergoing. I cry more over tragedies from a year to two years ago than current hurts. I keep diaries and journals that document my life in a way that only I could appreciate. I write poetry about memories. I talk about things long past (because I have nothing to fill the hole they leave with). I dream and I write and I wonder- all about the past. I love the past. But everything, and I mean everything, is in it, and it's bombarding me with all sorts of useless wishes about things that will never be.

Your brain will always torture you with regrets. It's its little hobby. This I know, because mine does it too. Annoying, isn't it?

I try to forget things. I try to let things go. As you build up more memories, it gets easier.
