We Hold On

We hold on to the past.
But the past is not the same.
We can't go back for everything changes.
No place truly remains the same.
Mother said that we can't go back to how things were
or how things were in our relationships.
No family nor friends.
Because something was broken.
A long time ago. Something had broken.
And can never be fixed.
Some people can hold on to the past.
Some people can make it last.
I envy them. Eternal envy.
I still try and hold on to the past from time to time.
But when I do I am reminded that
there is nothing to hold on to.
