I don’t think memories are ever lost. I believe that for every person who made an impact on your life, you tend to keep their memories stashed away somewhere in the corners of your heart and mind. Sort of like when you hear a familiar song. In a way, it can bring back or trigger long lost memories that you thought have long ago died and may even make you smile. You’ll remember the person; remember the memories. Nevertheless, what you won’t remember are the feelings attached to the person. I mean, you can think of a certain person who was once a part of your life, maybe even remember how you felt back then. However, as far as actually feeling in your heart what you felt then, it’s already impossible. Well, at least that’s how I believe it to be. You can’t simply forego memories especially if they were once a great part of your life. Nonetheless, the memories will just stay as they are…memories…things of the past.
Now, I’m actually thinking of an old love song popularized by a Filipino artist. The song is entitled I Remember the Boy. The chorus of the song goes like this, “So while the song still brings that certain glow and the words still sing of love I know, it isn’t quite the way it was before. I remember the boy but I don’t remember the feelings anymore.”
