by Jack Scholtes<\/span><\/p>\n

How many moments, do you think, does it take to forget<\/span><\/p>\n

Two or three, maybe more, for something small<\/span><\/p>\n

And probably more for something bigger<\/span><\/p>\n

Maybe it\u2019s different for everyone<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The things we did together, no matter how short or long, were well spent.<\/span><\/p>\n

The laughter I heard echo from her heart, her soul<\/span><\/p>\n

Sounded better than anything I had heard in the last 21 years<\/span><\/p>\n

I need to dive into those moments again<\/span><\/p>\n

Now, it\u2019s probably been a good amount of time to think<\/span><\/p>\n

Maybe a good amount of time to heal<\/span><\/p>\n

I think she\u2019s ok right now<\/span><\/p>\n

And I\u2019m probably ok right now, too<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

But when I hear the noise my radio made, the one that scared her<\/span><\/p>\n

I need to break it, just because it did.<\/span><\/p>\n

And when I moved my car across a parking lot,<\/span><\/p>\n

Just for her to take a picture,<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019d give everything to see the smile while she took it<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Maybe she is ok right now,<\/span><\/p>\n

But I need to dive into those moments again, and again,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And again.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
