We record the impressions left upon us by others The good and the bad, all impressions on the soul For everyone you meet leaves a little of themselves behind Some over a long period a daily entwined interaction Others a chance encounter sometimes but a moment Yet another notch on that stick of experience But what of the depth of the cut? Some deep tortuous, some superficial Some brief encounters leave a deep wound That re opens like a sore when least expected Others fill you with pleasure and wonderment Yet I dare proclaim no two notches are the same One woman's lover can bring sadness to another For we are individuals all with our own notches Each created a moment in time, each of us unique We are simply hard drives Living breathing hard drives
