Isn’t it sad to think that after you die, people can learn to live without you (because, well, they have to)? People forget you. Hell, sometimes people don’t even remember you when you’re alive so they’re sure as fuck not going to remember to think about you when you die.
"The trick to forgetting the big picture is to look at everything close-up. The shortcut to closing a door is to bury yourself in the little details. The facts."
Chuck Palahniuk, Lullaby.
Forgiveness is easy. At least it’s easier than forgetting. Anyone has the capacity to forgive but no one can just forget. I look at you and I just, I don’t know how I got so lucky the first time around. This is the real deal, you and I. I will never forget the ways you’ve changed me, the way you’ve opened up my eyes. The sound of weekends with you will forever linger in my mind. I vow to never forget the way your skin feels on mine, the way sparks fly out of your fingertips when you touch me. The weekends are always so passionate, so gentle, so loving. You never cease to amaze me. Thank you for finding me. I’m yours for as long as the stars allow. (Source: itsinevitable) I don’t want to forget. I want to remember it all. The laughs, the tears, the risks, the falls, the feelings; all of it. I guess I’ll just never understand how one can forgive a partner that has cheated. Because when it comes to that, for me, there are no second chances. — nothing can justify why they did it. If they loved you and I mean really, really loved you, they would not even come close to doing such a thing. I don’t see it in the way that some other people see it I suppose. I mean, how can you just forget the feeling that you weren’t enough for the person you love with your whole entire heart? That doesn’t just go away. How can you forget that they held someone with the same hands that held you all those times? How can you forget that they kissed someone, the same way they kiss you? How can you forget that they used their eyes to look into someone else’s, the way you always look into theirs? I don’t know how you could forgive something like that when you gave your all, your absolute everything to that person, and somehow.. it still wasn’t enough. — Never settle just because you don’t think there is someone else that is more right, more real out there for you. If you feel like you can do better, be better.. believe me, you can. Don’t ever forget that. To wake up to your face evokes feelings in me that I can’t even begin to describe. Your skin, your smile and your eyes. Oh my god, your eyes. I will never forget that night, among many others, for reasons that I’m sure are clear to you — but what you don’t know is, that that night, I felt more in love and closer to you than I have ever felt before. You always look sad these days. I hardly ever see you smile. I don’t know about you, but it really is hard for me to be around you everyday, knowing that we don’t talk, that you don’t have room for me in your life, that you don’t love me anymore. But hey, I’ll forget eventually. I guess it’s just hard ‘cause when I said I’d always be there, I meant it. Guess you didn’t, huh? |
