Book of Memories
Posted on: February 23, 2015, at 10:31:27am

Each person has multiple books of memories.
And each book represents new memories for each person they meet.
It can be someone you've known you're whole life,
Someone you just met,
Or even someone you don't talk to at all.
It's a book that is written by life.
There are books that are so old that the pages even turned yellow.
Some have torn pages because those memories want to be forgotten.
That's how it feels with this one book I have.
It was the book that I carried with me and took care of the most.
Tried not to open it too much because I didn't want the pages turning yellow as fast.
But as things got worse, the less I looked at the book.
Time went by and I never bothered to open the book,
I didn't want to have it anymore.
Then one day I opened it, read our first memory.
I cried and cried, hating that these memories hurt.
I did not regret having the book because I met amazing people along the way.
But it hurt a lot.
In anger, I ripped the first page and closed it.
This cycle became more and more.
I kept ripping the pages as I read more memories.
It was almost as if I hated you, but I didn't.
I just felt the pain and anger.
Finally I got to the point where there were no more memories.
Just one page with so little memories.
Just the last few we had together and the great people I met.
At this point, I closed the book and decided to never open it again.
Because there is no reason to open it.
When the book has reached the end of its story...
So now is the time to find a new book with new memories.
