Paperclip

As you bend and violate this paperclip into a straight line, you know that it will never be able to go back into its original shape. A brand new shirt bought from the store and after trying it on you realize it doesn’t look that good. You won’t be able to pack it exactly the same. Your heart always wants it the way it was the first time you tried it but it’s never to be. That’s why most things look attractive in hindsight. Even more horrible is when you try to do certain things the same way. The magic is gone. It’s a harsh reality that seeps in gradually without any warning as to where it would lead to. I can still see it in you. You keep going back to this paragraph and continuing because it’s easier to continue than start afresh. Ah!
