Elusive Memories

We cling to our memories like delicate glass,
fearing that if we let them go, they'll shatter
splinter into countless pieces.

But my memory of you is slipping,
no matter how hard I grasp.
It’s like trying to hold onto smoke
the tighter I squeeze, the more elusive it becomes.

I'm caught,
trapped between the fear of forgetting
and the pain of remembering,
lost in the space between what was
and what is now slipping beyond my reach.

And here I stand,
on this fragile precipice,
realizing that maybe, just maybe,
some memories are meant to fade
not as a loss,
but as a quiet release,
letting us finally
move forward.
