"its never easy to understand why memories hold our hand, but people let go"

Memories are always kinder than reality. They serve to remind you of better times when the moments you're living don't seem to par up to the past. There are times when all you want to do it close your eyes re-play certain days or times as if they were a movie. But when you open your eyes, nothing is the same. The truth is that people move on, while memories remain. Memories serve to haunt you until you are strong enough to not need them anymore. All in all, memories are kind, when people are not. They show you the best of what you had, and tend to hide the worst. Someday people will find a way to resist that walk on memory lane, but until then we will take our sweet time taking that stroll.
