The hugs you gave your old teddy bear.
The laughter from the playground near your childhood home.
You can feel me, but I can’t be touched.
The sad recollection of an old friend.
Your tears after the death of a loved one.
You can try to fight me, but I will always be there.
People often think of me as ‘sad,’ but that’s not always the case.
I am but an everlasting thought, a pleasant voice in the back of your heart.
Or not so pleasant… but I don’t know.
That depends on you.
I can make the strongest creature burst into tears.
I can help the weakest move mountains.
It’s all about the time, the place, the love…
Or the hate.
So next time, remember me.
Don’t run from me.
Put me behind you…
Before I build a wall that you just can’t climb over.
I am memories,
Strong and enduring.
Control me…
But whatever you do, don’t lose me.
