Just like a tattoo...

We all once knew someone we were very close to,
but now prefer not to talk about everything that happened,
as if it's taboo.
We especially prefer not to talk about it when we have a significant other,
It's better not to think about it,
and we'd rather not bother him or her with those stories either,
Let's leave it in the past,
Let's not talk about what once was,
What if he starts to think,
that it still is?


We sometimes prefer not to talk about it,
because we're still angry about how the chapter ended,
still don't believe how it could have ever happened,
And deep down it might still hurt in a way,
like a scar that never really heals.









We often realize that it's over,
and that it's not a part of our lives now,
and that it's not a part of our lives we would ever want to go back to.
Not after everything that happened...

But let's be honest we often do go back.
Those times might have been bad or really bad..
might have caused you a lot of pain
might have really made you cry,
but in the beginning and after periods of rain,
there were also good times.

Sometimes we do remember how the chapter started
and sometimes we don't regret.
And sometimes we do talk about it,
because let's be honest,
that person that you may have become a stranger to now,
has once meant a great deal to you,
and probably still does,
in a way.



Let's be honest...
It's also because of that person that you have become who you are today.
Together you made memories, good and bad, that you can never erase,
and you got to admit that it once felt right,
even if right now you might just call it a mistake.




But every 'mistake' is a memory made,
a lesson learned in the past,
that will influence your choices in the future.

And let's be honest,
We will never really forget.
We once chose to put that tattoo,
so we'll always have you.
No regrets.
