The time...

The time it takes someone to start missing you might be enough
for you to forget it!
Yet, memories have a peculiar way of lingering,
like shadows that stretch and change with the light but never completely vanish.
Each shared laugh, whispered secret,
and moment of companionship may fade with time,
but it leaves an imprint on the heart.
As life progresses, new experiences and faces will undoubtedly fill the days.
Still, the past resurfaces in unexpected moments - a familiar scent,
a song on the radio, or a glimpse of a place once visited together.
These fragments remind us of who we were and who we’ve become,
weaving a complex tapestry of our journeys.
So, while forgetting might seem like a distant possibility,
embracing those memories can be a way to honor the paths we've walked
and the connections we've made,
shaping the person we continue to evolve into.
