ending your game weighs less everyday—

the fights, the colorful lies—gone.

aggrieved eyes never look back

yet, every dawn’s peak I

awake on your side—

conditioned by

echoes of

blissful

touch.

    Reflexive memory refers to the automatic recall of information or experiences without conscious effort. It involves the unconscious storage and retrieval of knowledge, often linked to habits, conditioned responses, or learned behaviors. This type of memory allows individuals to perform tasks or recognize familiar stimuli without actively thinking about them, such as riding a bike or typing on a keyboard. In psychological terms, reflexive memory is often associated with implicit memory, which contrasts with explicit memory, where conscious thought is required to recall information. Understanding reflexive memory can enhance learning techniques, as incorporating repetitive practice and experiences can lead to stronger, more automatic recall of information in various contexts.
