A flood of emotions suddenly hit me,

which isn’t necessarily sad anymore.

More of nostalgia

like remembering your first puppy

or that first kiss.

When I think about it now,

sometimes, I already find it silly.

Now I say, the most painful event in your life

will never always be that painful.

As days go by,

as people enter your life,

it moves farther and farther

into your memory.

One day you wake up and

it isn’t as hard as it was yesterday.
