remembering

By josephine wong suk mun
Memories,
light the corners of my mind
Misty watercolor memories
of the way we were.
Scattered pictures
of the smiles we left behind
smiles we give to one another
for the way we were.

Can it be that it was all so simple then
or has time rewritten every line?
If we had the chance to do it all again
tell me would we?
Could we?

Memories,
may be beautiful and yet
what's too painful to remember
we simply choose to forget
So it's the laughter we will remember
whenever we remember
the way we were.

I was just driving through some old, familiar roads. Miraculously, I remember almost every situation at the different places. I laughed at myself on how good my memory is when it comes to not so important things. As I waited for the lights to turn green, I looked around and remember the moments I used to have at the exact spot. Moving on, I saw the stores and restaurants I used to go to and the people I've been there with. I saw the houses that I used to hang out a lot. The roads I used to walk on. But I just couldn't bring myself to go back to that one place. Its just too hard.
