Look to the future and forget the past

"The time has come"she had said, I can't remember the exact things that she had said and done that day. I can remember the moment she held the dripping piece of paper up and put it in a plastic bag. "You couldn't live with it could you, the regret that would pull you down and the memories that stained your memory". I struggled but couldn't get up. I had a bullet in my left knee cap, the pain couldn't escape me. I can't remember what happened next but i know I shouldn't have thrown my criminal record in the lake. It only dragged me in deeper.
