I keep going back to the past.

Cherished memories calling me.

So many wonderful times.

I remember the bad times too…

But the good memories far outweigh them.

Why do I keep going back?

Because I’m stuck on hold.

Nine years and counting now…

Life has simply gone on around me.

What I saw for my future has yet to be fulfilled.

I often wonder if my past was so full,

Because my present was going to be so empty.

Then I get a glimpse of my dreams becoming reality,

Just like when I was a ‘LITTLE’ girl ~

‘Never giving up on what I wanted.’

And I know what I have to do…

I’m going to hang up the phone,

So that I’m no longer stuck on hold.

I will redial the phone,

And start making the calls again for my life!

For if I don’t…

I will continue to be stuck on hold.

Wanting to relive a past ~ that I can’t get back,

Just existing and not living in the present,

And I will miss out on what will be a most memorable future!
