Torrenting Memories

There I stood. Near the edge of a cliff overlooking a cascading waterfall. Only it wasn't water flowing over the point of no return. They were my memories in a simpler form. So, there I sat. catching parts of my life. Memories forgotten, memories cherished, memories locked away. I laughed at that one time, I blushed at another. I remember you, and you. After sometime, something then happened that I didn't expect. There was no more water, no more memories. So, there I walked. Over to the edge. As I looked over the edge a smile overcame my face. What did I see you ask. Well while I was watching my life go over the edge. I was actually just watching my life fall into place, ever so perfectly.
