One day, many years from now when you realize what you’ve lost – you will search for me. Perhaps you’ll email me but there’ll be no reply, or maybe you’ll call my number but it will have changed. And when you give up trying to find me physically, you’ll search for me emotionally. You’ll try to find someone else who will love you as I did or make you laugh as much as I used to but you’ll soon realize there’s nobody else quite like me, I was unique, I was the one for you – and you lost me. And you will try so desperately to find traces of me in every soul you meet for the rest of your days but you will never ever find me. – Ranata Suzuki

If you forget, part of who I am will be gone. – Frederick Buechner

I miss the way you’d do the most risky things, but still made me feel so safe. I miss the way you kissed me. I miss the way we’d walk on the beach together as the sun would set. I miss the bridge we always sat on when we talked about our lives. The ones we’re living now. Without each other. – Lacey Aleshia Turner

It means that even after I die, you can still see my face and hear my voice and speak to me in your heart.

When I was twenty-three I began seeing a psychotherapist because I couldn’t bear the idea that, after the end of an affair, all our shared memories might be expunged from the mind of the other, that they might no longer exist outside my own belief they’d happened. I couldn’t accept the possibility of being the only one who would remember everything about those moments as carefully as I tried to remember them. My life, which exists mostly in the memories of the people I’ve known, is deteriorating at the rate of physiological decay. A color, a sensation, the way someone said a single word – soon it will all be gone. In a hundred and fifty years no one alive will ever have known me. Being forgotten like that, entering that great and ongoing blank, seems more like death than death. – Sarah Manguso

If you remember anything of me,
after I leave this world,
remember that I loved even
when it was foolish.
That I cared even when
it was unwanted.
When my body is gone
remember my heart.
Don’t cry after my death, I won’t know it. Love me when I am alive. – Luffina Lourduraj
