In the end, they say you’re only left with memories. Some stick with you forever while others are just temporary and slowly fade away over time. And that was my fear because it made me wonder. When it was time for me to settle down or looking for something serious I didn’t know what to expect; or even worse, how to deal with it. What if a certain song started playing, would it bring back an old set of memories? If we decided to watch an old movie would you start having flashbacks? And what about a specific date on the calendar, would it make you reminisce on how things used to be? All these questions that I’m pretty sure I didn’t want the answers to. Your past was out of my control, but it definitely affects who you are today. I couldn’t imagine living a life where you’d think of someone else when you’re with me. It’s hard, to build from what’s already been established. Deciding to fill in those gaps and making lefts where it didn’t go right. Embodying the missing pieces of your puzzle of why it didn’t work out with your previous relationships. I know I cant change your past, but I’d want to be in your future. Sometimes you have to be willing to overlook what has already happened in order to move on.
