Short Memories

Why make promises of the future
when it's not even garanteed?
Why create memories with the love of your life
when you know later they'll be forgotten?
How do you even call them the love of your life
when you barely know what life has in store for you?

It's all a one moment thing that fades with trends,
comes with seasons and changes with moods.
It's data that can be stored and erased anytime,
like formatting a hard drive full of memorable pictures,
with no back-up...no reset.

Love is one thing on its own,
falling inlove is another,
but staying in love is a totally different story
that comes with its own brain.
Memories are made, promised are made,
love is made and it's all in one storage.

You come you leave,
you love you hate,
you give you take,
you create you destroy.

It's easy to store short memories, but 'forever' needs a bigger space, bigger heart and more patience.
