Sunday Evening Rant: To Be Remembered

Was listening to Adele's single "Someone Like You". I would like to admit that it made me cry. I am not too surprised to have learned that Adele wrote it after one of her most important relationships ended. The emotion is raw and heartbreaking.

Isn't that what we want when relationships end?

To know that he (or she) remembers that they had you for a year, or six months. For them to feel some form of wistfulness when they think of you. To remember that they loved you for that time when you were together.

The worst thing I can possibly know is that I am forgotten. Like I never did existed. I won't deny it, I do that to all the ones who left. I purge every photograph of them. Every reminder. Every IM, every email. It is the only way I can get rid of the demons that are fed when it happens.

That's because no matter how much of their material existence I purge, I will always remember how I felt then.

And such is life.
