Where Memory Outlives Time
Tears don’t always fall.
They drift in the mind
like satellites
loosed from orbit,
slow-motion signals
across the blackroom of time.
Not grief,
but gravity remembering.
Love isn’t a moment
it’s a constellation
burned into the hands of an oaken clock and every breath,
a frequency that keeps pulsing
long after touch has stilled.
You never forget the day they vanished, the shape they left behind
an imprint in the air and universe
like heat after lightning,
like a silhouette scorched
into the filmstrip of your soul.
Some things pass in a second
But memory?
Memory is spacetime’s rebel.
It lingers longer than a moment itself
It\'s a glitch in the hourglass,
a clock that refuses
to stop ticking
even when the hands are gone
it still chimes.
They may have drifted
maybe forgotten from time to time ,
maybe just changed shapes
but when you reach inside
you still see their face
in reflections,
hear their voice
in the background static
of late-night silence.
We carry them:
in bloodline-chords,
in laughlines carved from shared jokes,
in arguments we still finish
alone.
Moments become galaxies
in the afterglow
brightbursts we revisit in an instance
when everything else fades.
Time dissolves,
but memory is ours to keep
memory is a stardust archivist.
It is our catalog of love lost and found
in the particles
we breathe without knowing.
And so we orbit one another forever
even when apart,
family and loved ones remain
a constellation-map
etched in soul-skin.
The world moves forward,
but the hands of time on some clocks refuse to reset.
Because we were built to feel
to remember,
to carry love
beyond the math of minutes and moments.
And when the universe forgets
we don’t because love lives in our hearts forever
We gather the remnants,
build temples from echoes,
and stand together
in the gravity
of what once was,
holding it all until the day memory fold us together
again
