Matter of hearts:Erasing memories...!!!

                 'Everytime I see this place, my heart burns,' said my friend; I was standing in our college corridor. I gave him a confused look. 'This was the place,' he pointed me at the ground, a few steps away, 'I proposed her right there.'
                'Its been an year, bro,' I placed my hand on his shoulder,'you need to move on.'
                'Yeah, Its been an year, but still I'm not able to get over her. She is in every thought of mine.' He was close to tears. I gripped him tighter, it wasn't enough to hold his emotions. I saw the tears brimming his eyes and thereby pushed each other out. He wiped them midway and turned away from me. 'I wish I had an eraser for memories,' he said before I saw him walking away.
                 His wish sounded familiar to me. Even I wished for an eraser that could just wipe off those hurting memories from our lives. I wouldn't be surprised if you feel the same way. We all have memories- some we want to relive and some others we never want to remember. The best thing about our mind is it preserves all our pleasant moments, and the worst thing is it never removes the bad ones. Mind is not to be blamed though, how is it supposed to know what pleases us and what doesn't.

                                     
                                                    
                  'I forget everything and start afresh.' I often hear this and I myself said this quite a few times. But do we really forget everything? Do we really start everything from the scratch? Can we?
                  No! We don't start anything afresh. We just believe that nothing ever happened before. We try to overlook our past. We restrict ourselves from turning back and keep believing that there's nothing left behind. We just fool ourselves!! But the harsh truth is-we never forget anything, all we do is just ignore it! And believe me that's the only best we can do!!
                 Memories are like leaves.  When a leaf is abandoned from the tree, it falls on the ground, gets trampled by the people, scatters along with the wind and finally it is buried making everyone forget of its existence.Same is with memories if you want to forget some moments of your life just ignore it, don't just ignore it trample it with other memories and bury it deep in your heart. Never let it breath because if it breaths it will suffocate your being.
                  I once promised myself that I'll never think about this girl, never look at her. Everything went fine until one day in our college-I was standing in our college ground. Don't know but I just turned back, she was standing at a distance; sun rays were falling on her and she shone even more. Like always she didn't notice that I was noticing her. My conscience was shouting from inside,'Take your eyes off her!!' I was trying to, I swear, I tried but it was like a spell, and I was losing myself...again!! All the moments of mine with her rose from their graves-her smiling at me, her talking flashed in my eyes again. My efforts of forgetting her were ruined and I'm the one responsible.
                 Memories once written can never be erased no matter how hard you try!! You can never forget some moments, all you can do is just fool yourself that you do. Because some Matter of hearts cannot be removed!!!
