How do you touch a memory? Do you ever feel as if you can just see it in your mind so you must be able to reach out to touch it, experience it, to relive it memories are so tangible sometimes you can smell the atmosphere taste the rain and feel the same feeling you felt back then the smell of rain brings back the happiness of childhood when the burdens of adulthoods were never realized when laughter made everything better when tears came from battlewounds of the bicycle how do you touch a memory must you keep your eyes shut tight breathe lightly and hold on tight there are so many memories i want to touch i want to touch mami, grandpa harrison, susie i want to experience it all over again will i ever get the chance how cruel to see something, but never be able to touch it to know it like the back of your hand but never be allowed to relive it to hold onto it in your mind, but never in your hand how do you touch a memory is it even possible in my next life will i relive this all again is there even such thing as a next life memories bring happiness, sadness, doubt but memories are the only lasting friends that man has life is but a fleeting memory constantly cursing mankind to relive some events over and over with regret but memories are untouchable for a reason you can't stop living your life you can't live your entire life in the pursuit of touching a memory or of constantly reliving memories memories are part of the past all that matters is here and now and each new day, like a new sunrise, welcomes us to the new day, to the chance to make another lasting memory to keep us smiling in an emotional drought how can you touch a memory that's a trick question because you can't but would you really want to, to touch a memory would ruin its beauty, its uniqueness, its authenticity, and to do that would be one of life's greatest tragedies |
