Try to keep your old flames
As your present candles,
To remind you who you are,
To cast you light when it's dark.

Retire from your old games;
Farewell to past moonspells;
Repair your remaining scar;
' past is but a previous spark.

Life's course should be linear;
There's no more turning back.
Yet, life's also circular,
From pure white to pitch black.

Say hello to the present;
Bid farewell to the past.
