Memories to Treasure

I was cleaning my cabinet in my room the other day. It is the cabinet where I keep all the letters and keepsakes from my friends, which are mostly from high school and college. I decided to “not to keep” anymore some of the letters that I received. I just thought that if I do that, it might help me clear out the new path that I am about to walk through.

As I reached for the box where I kept all the letters which I am about to relinquish, I am not sure how I am feeling during that moment. I opened the box, read the letters again. For the last time, I am reminiscing the “what used to be”. Surely things has changed. It has been a long time.

I put back the letters to the box. I decided that these letters will remain there... they should remain there. Unlike the other letters, messages and keepsakes that I have already discarded, these ones should remain.

These ones are the YOU which I became friends with;
these ones is the YOU I fell in love with.
These ones are the YOU I loved.

These are the memories that I can keep; memories that I can treasure. These are the REAL YOU. These are the memories that I will keep; memories that I will always treasure.
