Perspective: Fly Away

The easiest way to forgive is to forget.

Normally, people will stop and remember something when they hear that. Well, most people, I guess. The sentence in itself brings a wave of flushing memories to those who has been done wrong or hurt; the hardships overcome, the pain that has gone. 

I couldn't put my feelings in this matter with my usual way, so I'll write my perspective as a prose.

It's cold. 
Like everything at the moment.
Everything has stopped. The fall of the bitterly cold snow. The whistling of the wind. The rustling of the leaves.
The racing of my heart.
It just stopped.
Everything stopped, when I heard
"I don't love you anymore. Please, let me go."
and the most painful, "Don't ever hope anymore."
The world I've come to know has suddenly become mysterious to me. I am a stranger now, passive.
I was a leaf, helplessly moved by the rushing rivers of time.
I began to question if happy endings did exist.
I began to wonder if ever the skies were to turn blue again, if the birds will still sing our song, and if the mountains will continue to move for us.
But they never did.
Time passed, days just flowed through me unrelentingly.
And when the last of my once-burning hope faded away, I saw the light.
The light out of the cave.
I followed, reluctantly at first.
But then I carried on. I was like an extremely thirsty man rushing for water. Then, I returned to life.
I met someone else.
And when I met her, I've come to forget all the pains of the past. The sharp pangs of guilt when I've done something wrong. The sadness I feel whenever I feel insufficient.
I accepted what has happened to me as a lesson.
When I couldn't accept, I flew away from woe and to the light.
I painted her wings and set her free, as I did with myself.
And in that, I learned.
Forgetting never actually meant not remembering, but leaving and finding another flame for your candle.
The pains of the past will never mean anything to the bliss of the present, if you would just fly.

Live and let live. Live and let go. Everything in the world will just revolve around accepting. Remember for always.
