memory* n.* the power of the mind to remember things.
i may not be the best psychology student and i might not understand how something is either filed into your long term or short term memory, but i think the entire concept is strange because i can't even remember what i had for breakfast this morning, yet i can remember everything about you.
i thought being an astronaut was something that only little kids dreamed of becoming, but i wanted nothing more than that when i realized that your eyes were planets and that i could float around in them for the rest of my life and always be satisfied.
two kids run past me one day in a walmart in the middle of nowhere and it's eerie because they are like the ghosts of you and me. they race shopping carts down the food aisles and laugh when the employees chase them and it reminds me of how you knew who you were and didn't care what anyone else thought and i can still feel how much i envied that.
sigh no more by mumford & sons comes on the radio and the only image i can see is myself, hanging on to the very edge of a cliff made up of emotions and "i'm sorry's", and you come into the picture with a heartbeat so powerful that it causes earthquakes of anxiety in my brain and you say nothing as you watch me fall and crumble to the bottom.
i don't know why i can't remember what i ate for breakfast, but what i do know is that i would rather have that memory than suffer with the ones created by the words you said that rattled my bones and sometimes i shiver because i can still feel the cold breeze you left behind from you walked away from me for the last time.
