Lingering Memories, Lasting Feelings

Traces of a Past, Echoes of a Feeling

Lingering Memories, Lasting Feelings

Some of these names I just can’t get rid of, showing how our lives once depended on each other. What is shared between people can never be totally forgotten due to its warmth.

Maybe we won’t meet again before our lives are over, but I will always keep this memory with me. Even without a heartbeat, the pain holds firm and does not seem to change. I am just watching, reading, and waiting for a name that is clear and distant to fill my mind.

It’s more than I don’t put any effort into it anymore; I don’t have the desire. Yes, I do love you, but I no longer count on you. I don’t want to let the name go, but I really can’t give up the person behind it. The feelings are the things I recall, not the exact moments themselves.

As time keeps moving, it helps us to accept whatever real situations we find ourselves in, whether good or bad.

I hope that you meet somebody who loves you the way you used to be loved. I wish that love would never be broken by betrayal again. May all our regrets be turned into little joys. I wish that kindness were shown to all people everywhere.

Thank you for reading!
