WordPress somehow didn’t push this one through. *sighs*
Focal points, words said and unsaid, reasons why, and the passing of time: in life, nothing is ever finite, especially when there are things that just won’t let it be.
Peace, Sarah. A beautiful description with a melancholy feel.
Ooo. I love the layers in that last line. It could be referring to the other person losing his memory to Alzheimers or the MC is starting to forget certain memories of a lost love or letting go of those memories.
The grief here really shone through along with the truth. For me personally the promises people make and do not keep are what chaff at me the most, because I truly believe in keeping promises and it seems people are fairly okay with promising lots of things and not keeping any of them. I almost distrust a promise because of that. And nobody should make you distrust a promise. I really felt this one Sarah my talented friend xo
Right. That’s the worst because people deserve to be given chances and if we’re too broken already then it’s like they get a taste of our baggage before they even prove (or disprove) themselves. That said, recently a friend kept saying ‘trust me’ and I did and then she broke her word so I guess who is more the fool? The one who trusts when their gut says don’t or the one who insists someone trust only to let them down? I don’t understand that. To me it seems pretty easy to keep your word. Maybe I’m missing the point 🙂

Memories do fade away…specially when the person we attach to those memories has left our side!

one meaning of ‘absolute’ is ‘perfect’ and the fading is proving him/her right in saying “endings are/never absolute.” nice post.

Aw I know how you feel. Even with some people that haven’t yet broken any promises to me, I still feel like it would happen eventually.

For people like us who value honesty above most everything else, I think making promises is something we intend to honor.
