It’s like every time you look back at memories you’ve shared with this person, it would always make your heart smile. Some can be very painful… the pain just lingers beneath you waiting for it to be remembered but looking back, you see yourself now as a survivor. You survived the pain and it made you stronger than before. Those people we greatly miss will never be forgotten - regardless the happiness or pain we’ve gone through with them; they may have shattered us into pieces or they may have helped us rise up from defeat, we’ve learned that no matter what, they have already become a part of us and that part of us longs for the happy moments to come back or may try to forget the painful moments we had. Still, it reminds us that our past is something worth remembering and it’s not a good place to stay. We should decide if we’re gonna look back, smile, and be thankful, or not let go of the past which, for me, could be the very thing that can destroy how you live in the present and can blind you of the future.
