Pretend?

Pretend... as if nothing has happened; as if everything is back to how it used to be.

Can it be? Will it be? Can anything be so easily erased and forgotten?

Or is it simply about taking the easy way out by sweeping issues, events, feelings under the carpet? Behaving as if everything is fine, knowing that it can never be the same ever as the root of the issues has never been faced up or addressed at all?

Time is the ultimate medicine or antidote? (Or is it the worst poison to any memory that one holds?)

I would choose to think that as time slips past each day, some people and things have lost their significance and place - they are not as close to the heart anymore, thus all that had happened no longer matter.

Consequently, there is no need to be bothered by it or to care about it much further anymore. Just let it be... and so be it...

The world is constantly evolving. We are taking steps forward every day. It is plain naiveness to think it can be status quo.
