Memory

One day you'll realize you stopped

thinking of your life as before

and after.

It will fade from your memory.

It will still be there,

but your thoughts will have to

travel farther to reach it.

The edges of the pain will

become dull

and the memories will lose their

significance.

One day,

I swear, one day

You will pull down your jar

of memories,

and see it there,

just one small stone,

with a thousand new

and different stones

piled on top.

You will realize that it is

not nearly as relevant,

or even as interesting,

as you once thought.
