*Memories are amazing things. As time hurries past us and slips through my fingers, I realize just how fragile and ephemereal our memories are. Like stardust, they fade seamlessly into the galaxy. Anger, bitterness, or life itself can turn our hearts stone cold, turn starstruck lovers against one another. Yet, a simple memory of the warm, fluttery butterfly feeling of intertwined hands, the smell of a familiar neck scent, or the cool wetness of rain on sun-soaked skin can create such powerful remembrances of trust, kinship and love.
Memories are amazing things.
(There are some things I just don’t want to forget. )
Yet, they exist only if we want them to. Only if we make the conscious effort to remember them, stroke them, breathe them into life into our Today and Tomorrows. Without revival, they die wasted deaths every day.
So here’s another entry in this category on this space, Things I Won’t Forget. Or rather, things I don’t want to.
I went to work with a sore eye today while wearing my contact lenses. I was worried I might have caught conjunctivitis from one of my patients at the eye clinic. Either way, it wasn’t wise to wear contact lenses. They can breed bacteria. Then I found you outside my workplace with my glasses delivered from home at lunchtime, so the discomfort in my eye would be more bearable. Your commitment and dedication to love, never fails to amaze me.
Since meeting you, my lenses have indeed changed. I see the world differently, now.
