Each second that passes is a moment in time that will never return.
It is a memory that will either be
cherished or forgotten.
The things that slip away,
insignificant details that one
does not hold onto.
The things that stay, adored and
protected with the love in our hearts.
It's strange to think about.
The things that we let fade
into forgotten nothingness.
I wonder sometimes,
that when life has come to
it's final end,
will I remember each second?
Every moment?
Every minute?
Every memory that my brain
has deemed important but my heart
chose otherwise.
I hope that one day,
I will unlock each beautiful second of my life.
I hope to be able to close my eyes
and recount the first moment my
mother took me into her arms.
or the time I took my first
steps and felt as if I could conquer the world.
I try to be mindful of the
things that will one day fade away.
I cling to the memories that I am
desperate to remember.
I wrap my arms tightly around the
thought of the things that mean so
much to me.
I know eventually,
this life will fade and along with it,
my memories.
But I can only long for the
moment where the locked chest in my soul,
unlocks completely for the world to see,
and I will be accepted as one
with the universe.
Watching my life over and over
in an eternal bliss.
Having finally reached the nirvana
that I have had all along.
