I Was Looking Back Today by Emilee

I was looking back today,
to a part of me that's gone.
How quickly it did fade away,
how quickly I forgot.
The thing that made me happy,
but I had taken away.
Now stands as an empty memory
that I remembered today.
Now looking back on it,
I see how much I've lost.
Busyness replaced the sadness,
that's why I forgot.
Although I have moved on,
I still feel so attached.
Those people I loved are not gone,
it took a while to realize that.
That part of my life has ended,
but so many new things have come.
I guess it's only the beginning
to all I can become.
When I was looking back on them,
a tear fell down my cheek.
So many happy times we shared,
when we'd meet week to week.
But I would be lying if I said
I wasn’t happy today.
But I wonder would it be different,
if I would have stayed.
I was looking back today,
and what I saw made me think.
Just how lucky I am to say
you’re the ones who changed me.
I remember the day you told me
that it wasn’t really over.
You said you’d never give up on me,
and we’d hold on to each other.
But now that we’ve moved on,
we talk less and less.
Our friendship isn’t done,
but it’s not at its best.
I was looking back today,
I can’t believe I forgot.
Just how much I lost that day,
when my world turned inside out.
But, not that I’m on better terms,
I can finally say.
I’ll always remember you,
when I’m looking back one day.

A while ago, I was forced to leave my old Youth Group because of some things going on at home. I miss them so much, but I am in a new youth group now that I love very much. Well, today, I was reading some of my stuff from my old youth group and I recieved an email from an old friend from there. It made me remember how much I really do miss them! Thankx and God Bless~emilee
