There is no goodbye

I had said goodbyes before, mostly with heart and mind not in tandem with what were said. So, could it be a goodbye. No?

Goodbye yesterday, but the memories forever remain haunting in moments of weakness. The words uttered, turmoil and commotion flared, the heartache and  tears flowed came flashing back in moments of sadness, whenever thoughts flew wildly and uncontrollably back to yesterdays, to  yesteryears.

Is there any definite or isn’t there any definite goodbye.  Mercilessly, memory stays. Consciously, subconsciously, some vague but most come glaring back with such brutality . There is no running away. It's like a permanent stain. How do you make it disappear? By brutally, ruthlessly erasing them from one’s mind leaving no scars? How?

 

A newfound brain mechanism erases memories on purpose to help make way for new ones. Scientists suggest it could lead to the development of memory-erasing drugs that make a person forget certain things.

Researchers have often debated about the reasons we forget — eg. why newly acquired short-term memories are fleeting. One theory suggests that such memories are simply unstable, fading over time. Others contend interference causes short-term memories to be overridden as new data comes in.

Both notions suggested that forgetting is a passive mechanism, but now it seems "it's not that at all — it's an active system to erase memory, completely independent from the mechanisms to form memories.

Will I forget those memories they want me to forget. 

Let fate decides….
