balloons and things

They are reminders of things past: of parties, of celebrations, of love, of better days. The height of their existence lasts but a moment, and then they linger but never really die. They are always there as a reminder of what was, what you once had, and what you can never have again. If they could just disappear, maybe that would make everything better. The memories are what will kill a person, but they can never just disappear. They can fade, but they will always be there. Just like the balloons. To remind you of better days, of what you had, and what you will never have again.
