Coffee Stains, Like Memories, Never Really Leave

Every song rings with them, their bittersweet echoes seep into the melodies

Every photo bring us back to a time we yearn for

Every day marks the beginning of another love, another loss, another memory

We are polluted with memories

We create memories every day

And each new one never really leaves

It simply manifests itself in a different facet of our lives

Be it a place,

A song,

A shirt,

A person,

The possibilities and triggers are endless

Living with them will bring everything from tears to joy

We may be poisoned by them

Or we may be lifted by them

But they are there, whether we like it or not

And just like the coffee stain on my desk

My memories will never leave me
