My Soundtrack: This Time
Every once and again, the memories come flooding back. They push everything out of the way and take up residence, front and center.
I sometimes wish that I could put them away for good, these memories. They only serve to remind me of something that I do not have, something that I let get away. They hurt, even when they feel good.
They show up regardless of how busy I am, or what I am trying to be. They show up making me yearn for a do over, or at the very least, an instant replay.
The reality is, I am here and I cannot move backwards. But the memories don’t know that and they still creep into my mind, sometimes in the middle of the night when my defenses are low. I can’t fight them, so I will embrace them and welcome them back.
They are, after all, just memories.
