Memories


I don't delete anything.

Songs, messages, voicemails, or photos.

I keep them with me,

because sometimes I feel that's the

only way I will remember you.

Memories fade and people change.

But, I keep these material things

so I won't forget.

And I think that hurts the most,

because they used to me a part of me,

and now they're not.
