your life moves on. you can't stop it. many people try but one day they'll find out that it's simply impossible. step out in front of a train and tell it to stop. ask a volcano to stop pouring lava out. be friendly. will it work? not really. see?
your life moves on. to places you'd never have guessed. you can't predict it. tell me where this cloud will be in one year's time. tell me about the future of it all. see?
your life moves on. but your memories stay. whatever happened, it won't fade away over the years. it gets better. memories tend to get better. you forget the bad aspects and only remember the truly good ones.
your life moves on. but the pictures you painted, the lyrics, the stories, the poems you wrote, the photos you took - they remain the same.
your life moves on. can you afford to stand still? can you dare to ignore it? can you dare to hold your breath for a moment and look back? without wishing to go back? to simply turn your back to everything?
your life moves on. but even photos, even lyrics tend to change their meaning. that song you hated a month ago may be one of your favorites. back then it seemed just too sad. too stupid. who would ever be that sad? but now it fits. somehow.
your life moves on. look at the stars, right now. and tell me: can you follow?
