feeling a little happier

Sometimes, when I feel im going forward, I turn around and step back. I scan the last bit of tape and wonder if ive done it right.
Then I move forward with caution, as caution seems the right way to go. As the past has shown that without caution there is danger.
Danger that comes from lies and deception, from throwing too many hopes in one person, too many dreams in one place.
Resulting in throwing grains of salt, in all things said and done.
But someone dear keeps holding my hand, patiently guiding me forward, not letting me look back.
And perhaps I should let go a little, and take a couple of steps forward and perhaps not look back too far but keep on walking instead.
