Tristesse

When you need to mourn for so many things.

Feelings.

Regrets.

Losses.

Paths not taken.

Those you miss.

Let music do the mourning for you.

So you have the choice in its tone.

Let it take you in, and seduce you with memories so fond, then drag you into cacophony of emotion.

And once more find yourself, and the balance you need, to feel joy and pain as one once more.

Remember the folly of youth, and the ecstasy of those that made you feel young when you no longer were.

Was there meaning? In anything?

Of course there was… don’t let yourself be a fool.

One day, if you’re lucky, you will be an old man at the twilight of your life, looking back on how you chose to spend the time you were given.

If you must mourn, mourn only for what’s gone – not for what you’ve lost…

For what’s gone – not what you’ve lost…
