How So

How is it that the sweetest memories hurt tenfold more than those most bitter buried deep in this aching heart of woe.

A billion dollar poetic question dear Maureen that Freund and Yung have to collaborate with Plato and Socrates to find the answer! My simple answer is the following: To a loving heart the good moments are written with indelible letters whether the bitter ones cannot leave any trace! A seven!

What a great poetic question, I wish I knew the answer because those memories do hurt the worst. Maybe it is because those sweet memories are the ones we'd hoped to never see end. Nicely done Maureen.

I think you are right. They say time mends all wounds; at the very least lays layers of years to buffer that pain. Thank you for listening.
