what a bastard conception of communication can symbols be. their unnatural nature, of combination and contextfulness gives up to most and any of my constructions of the present.

it will pass, she will unbecome, it will evolve into a past chapter of my life, like everything else. but symbols will stay, as a milestone, a tombstone, a memoir of a confusion, of unpleasing times.
save the meaning, loose the memento. and then, when time distills the trueness of instances, let things decant into souvenirs, feelings and mental pictures of a happier past.
after all, we’re living just an instance. the rest, be it past memories or future desires is tainted with personal choice.
