Sadly , I have no idea who wrote this but this subject has come up in several places... so I'm passing it along , hoping it brings comfort.
Don't look back.
Whatever you do, don't look turn your head to look upon what you have left in your wake. Do not think of friendships, lovers, enemies as they once were... as you change, so have they.
Do not dwell on words of love, or hate, of happiness or of hurt feeling. Do not stay in your past.
If you look back, all you will see is What Was and Never Will Be Again.
Look forward.
Look to the now and step forward bravely, even though it hurts. Even though it is in your nature to feel loneliness.. move forward.
If these, your comrades of your past, are worthy of you, they move forward as well and you will meet again.
I promise, you will meet them again, and you will be as strangers.
Forget your past. Do not tie these people you once loved and hated well to What Was and Never Will Be Again.
Recognizing them when you are reunited, meet them anew, and find out from a place of honesty if this Present Day You and this Present Day Them are meant to cross paths.
You are better than regret.

Very true, thanks you Fela. I know I have regrets in how I treated men I dated and how I could/ should/ would have done much better ( now I'm older & wiser).
Many times we try to fix things up without the realisation that it's destiny to live things as they are,all part of the process. I'm taking a printout of the poem and scanning it properly this afternoon.
Once again thank you.

I don't know how I missed this post. Thank you Fela, sometimes we get caught up with the past and think of what should have been, think what could have been and then start to regret.
