Sometimes memories can be a curse...
Sometimes a blessing...
Reminding me of the moments in my life when I had hit rock bottom
Pushed so close to the edge
I could almost feel the rush of air welcoming my fall
Memories that would bring me back to those moments
And force me to my knees begging to forget...
But then,
There are the beautiful memories
The ones that bring an unexplained happiness
upon my being
Even though those moments are long gone,
I can still remember it like it only happened yesterday
The taste of the first kiss still on my lips,
The sun soaking into me
and penetrating my worries
as I lay on the cool grass of summer,
The wind whipping my hair
as I ran against it,
Screaming my victory to the heavens
of the tethered life
that I had left behind.
No matter how beautiful or painful
these memories may be,
Cherish them,
because they are part of our souls;
They help mold who we are,
and who we're going to become
for the rest of our Lives.
