The last kiss, last hug, last laugh, last smile. The last morning, last dinner, last fight. The last look in love.
Markers of the end of a love that’s flame has extinguished. Fleeting moments that fade away into the days, weeks, months and years following the separation, as if those times never existed at all. The lives that once tangled themselves together so tightly, the knots once seemed impossible to undo, are left frayed at the edges from the prying and pulling apart.
Yet, the break is never clean enough. The trace of the final kiss could still be tasted. The scars from that detrimental fight still burn. The sound of the last laugh rings in the back of one’s ear as it’s filled with a different laughter inspired by someone new.
There’s an Intimacy in Remembering.
These lasts will be replaced with new firsts, as their past lover is no longer around to experience them. The first time one succeeds at a goal. The first time they cry without their lover by their side. The first time they embrace true happiness without their partner.
An active choice is made to continue experiencing these firsts alone, as a new version of oneself beyond their ex-lover grows. To make that choice is necessary, to not fall back into a pattern that only ever ends the same way.
These firsts are laced with haunts of those lasts, knowing that life is moving on and the world is continuing to turn. The memory of what once was exists within the now, even through the choice.
The Last that Never Ends.
In the midst of the fleeting final moments and resurging first times, the choice to never speak again is the last that expands beyond the boundaries of endings and beginnings.
It’s the final thing old lovers do together, even if apart for the rest of their lives. It binds the two together forever, while also physically separating the people who no longer live for each other.
Relationships diminish. New ones bloom. Emotions go bad. Different ones are felt. Moments become memories, to be replaced with new moments. Love fades, yet the lovers are never truly parted, because they choose to never speak again.

Merely wanna remark on few general things, The website style is perfect, the written content is rattling fantastic. “The stars are constantly shining, but often we do not see them until the dark hours.” by Earl Riney.
I’m still learning from you, as I’m trying to reach my goals. I absolutely enjoy reading all that is posted on your website.Keep the posts coming. I liked it!
Thank you for another great article. Where else could anyone get that kind of info in such a perfect way of writing? I’ve a presentation next week, and I’m on the look for such information.
This blog is definitely rather handy since I’m at the moment creating an internet floral website – although I am only starting out therefore it’s really fairly small, nothing like this site. Can link to a few of the posts here as they are quite. Thanks much. Zoey Olsen
wonderful post.Never knew this, appreciate it for letting me know.
I have to express my thanks to the writer just for rescuing me from this circumstance. Because of checking through the world wide web and getting thoughts that were not powerful, I thought my life was well over. Existing without the solutions to the difficulties you’ve fixed by means of your good post is a critical case, as well as the ones which may have badly damaged my entire career if I hadn’t encountered your web page. The natural talent and kindness in taking care of every part was invaluable. I am not sure what I would’ve done if I hadn’t come across such a stuff like this. It’s possible to at this point look forward to my future. Thank you very much for your professional and results-oriented help. I will not think twice to suggest your web site to anybody who needs tips about this situation.
