the memories we leave behind

Days go by, one after another, falling behind us, like those dry leaves falling off that big tree on a windy autumn day, blown away by the wind, unnoticed….. Our memories keep pilling with all the joyful glances and the sad long hours, we drag them behind us as we move forward and the burden gets heavier by time. Sometimes we pretend that they don’t exist, or maybe we just forget about them, but soon we realize that they live with us, those memories are imprinted inside our souls forever, they make us think and see things differently, look back and learn and see how everything make sense. They keep us warm and keep our company in the lonely nights, they draw a smile on our faces…… we long for the joyful moments and wish they never came to end, live them again with our imagination….. and how strange… how they can feel like real, how can we remember those little detail so accurately, how can we smell a scent or hear a sound the same way like it was…. Then we experience this strange feeling of serenity and nostalgia yet we feel this hand squeezing our beating hearts, when we realize how heavy is the burden….

What a strange creature are you time, I dare you if you can make things happen again, you are just like us, forced to go on, having no choice but to move forwards, you too wish if you knew why, if you had a second chance.....
