the heart of the matter.

do you ever think about how it's those things that you try the hardest to forget that you can never seem to forget? the soft voice of a loved one's last words, or the loud door slamming, shattering a long friendship along with the falling glass panes. the brisk massachusetts air chilling your neck and cheeks on the side of the road, tears stinging those cheeks as you stand frozen, looking at the remnants of the accident. and with all that you are, you try and forget the way his hand feels against the small of your back, behind your head. and you try to remember the reasoning. because there is logical thinking in your mind related to these instances and memories that may have guided your choices, for better or worse. these vivid memories that haunt you when you are left alone with no noise but your own thoughts are fairly exhausting. after enough reflection, your mind can usually work itself back out of this spiderweb of emotion, but nonetheless, it will eventually venture back down the same roads. there is no telling when this will be. but i am willing to bet that it will occur, for in situations of mind over matter, your heart will always succeed.
