Memories

Memories feel so close, and yet so out of reach. Pictures incite those memories, and help you to recall the world in which those images took place... the steps you took to get there, and the fun times that happened afterwards. But they are just memories. Those people aren't around anymore. There is nothing tangible for you to reach out and feel, nothing for your eyes to see.

Sometimes it feels like it never happened, and it really was just a dream. Sometimes when those people aren't available to you... you wonder if they even still exist. "Out of sight out of mind" turns to a kind of loss, because in some ways, they feel dead... like they no longer exist. A sort of ... shroedinger's cat, so to speak... because until we see them again, we really don't know whether or not they are even out there still, breathing and laughing and living.
