I have no quote that i&#039;m in love with, but here&#039;s the one at the top of my head right now:<br /> &quot;An eye for an eye and the whole world goes blind.&quot; Gandhi....<br /> I also like : &quot; Don&#039;t wait for your boat to come to you, swim out to IT.&quot; ANonoymous...

As I push my feelings to the side
You always bring them back
As I try to forget the past
I am yet again forced to remember
When I want to pull my feelings back
You struggle to appear
When I try to remember the past
You suddenly vanish for just the moment
Memories
They are exactly what your mind desires
At the moment it desires

This was inspired by the fact that sometimes when you want to remember something you can't and when you won't to push that same memory away, it always follows you for some reason.
