memories fade...

There comes a time,
when you realize that memories are fading,
due to its non-physical features...
you suddenly find it so difficult to grasp on to what you use to know...
what you use to remember..
does it eventually fade away?
so long as those involved in those memories elapsed away in time as well?
no one there to remind you of those days,
no one there to share those laughter's you once knew.
no one there to reminisce the days of light-hearted worries.
Shouldn't memories be a part of our existence?
to who we are and what we become?
then why does it fade away...
why are they constantly being re-negotiated by the mind?
what if the days comes when no one else is around to be your witness of those incidences?
would you then re-arrange those fragmented memories into something so foreign from what you know
or would you spell out those little pieces and attempt to create a broken picture...
or would you let it slip away in time...
and just allow it to fade as though it was never there..
what if as time goes by it is no longer an option?
when age beckons and your memory will becomes weaker..
What more of the evil amnesia?
would it make life easier to forget?

"Do you remember...."

sometimes I think that certain memories fade away to make room for new ones. simply because if everything is perpetually on our minds, we'd be living in the past.

but whether the new ones are desirable or not is another question altogether.

u know, my biggest fear is losing my memory. and the sad thing is that i feel that i'm losing fragments of it as time passes.

i think it shows that my brain capacity is almost full, and maybe it auto-deletes certain things.

or it could be the constant intoxication.

whichever. hehe.

memories...brrrr...memorieess...some i have are amazing and some i see and cringe. but alas, i love memories and i tend to like to reminisce a lot. its like a history book in our mind. i think its the best kind of history book(ur own) cos we're all self centred (secretly).
