Hesitation

Lately I have been pining for the past, 
when I should be planning for the future.

And I have been hiding in the familiar, 
when I should be embracing the new.

And I have been trying to hold on
to what was never really mine

But I suppose this is always the risk we take in this life.

It is so easy to make a memory.

But it is so very hard 
to forget.

*

This hesitation
is not me at all

I should be flying
but for you, I fall

And I'm drifting . . .
but that's nothing new

And I'm dreaming -
but these dreams won't do.
