The Past

I often wonder what "The Past" really is.

Do I have to forget all of things happened in my past and just walk away?
Do I have to remember all those things and keep them inside my head?
Do I have to ignore and pretend that those things never existed?
Do I have to regret all those things I did and those I didn't do?
Sometimes I want to remember but I forget
Sometimes I want to forget but I remember
When I want to remember, I think I want to forget
When I want to forget, I think I want to remember


It's complicated ... or do I make it complicated?
