Don't Get Too Attached

Don't get too attached because everything is just fleeting; a moment, a sensation, a kiss. It happens, and all at once, it fades into a memory. Everything I have of you is now, and will just be a memory to me. And memories are a constant struggle of holding on and letting go. And these memories, emotions latching onto them, tear you apart, knowing that though the feeling is real, the moment is forever gone. There is a danger in being too attached; you either get too attached to the memory, or too attached to the feeling.

But tonight, whatever emotions we encounter, I promise you, we are making memories. Why plan a memory? Because nobody can ever take memories away from you. Nobody will tell us not to go through it, to rethink things through, to avoid going down that road because memories have already passed. Memories don't undo themselves. They exist because of the temporariness of things. Don't get too attached to a memory you are not willing to make. Because when everything is fleeting apart from you, memories are the only thing you can hold on to.
