Ex. Friend.

How many can leave their past at one side and move on? How many actually hold on tight only to the memories while they are living in present? How many handle their feelings with care, knowing when to let go of their hands and when not? How many have scars all over their bodies, hearts and heads after being involved in one particular relationship? There are those who know how to be stubborn enough to continue living in the heads of theirs, feeding on the memories and words one used to provide; people who can’t go back to who they were before the relationship blossomed, thinking their lives have turned into nothing but failures and depression; they who known their ex as ex but not friends, though it has been said that they will remain as friends after the incident taken place. Could it be that their past memories leave them such joyful moments, that they not want to let go the relationship, that one particular person and the memories? Or it could be the other way round instead? One who brought such pain to the other, causing the latter not able to get the former out of the head, where the terrifying memories stay. Indeed, it may be hard to just forget everything in a blink of an eye, but doesn’t mean we will remember them for the rest of our lives as we may no longer have a good picture of what had happened in the days to come. When we truly known the person who we once loved as a friend, we have indeed let them off from our hands.
