what happens to our feelings when they’re gone?

do they just become… nothing?

do their edges just fade slowly like memories

still there but not in their entirety

do they completely disappear?

is that why it seems impossible to bring feelings back by choice?

or are they always there somewhere just hiding below the surface until they maybe, just maybe, get brought back again?

we meet new people

and they make us feel things

new levels of emotions we never have experienced before

hell, new emotions we never knew existed in general

but were those feelings always somewhere inside us?

or even the ability to feel those feelings?

did they exist before we even knew?

or were they created in that moment?

the feelings you give me

the good and bad

can anyone else make me feel them?

or will there always be some differentiation?

and when you leave are they going to sink down, never to be felt again?

or will I be reminded when you’re gone, in glimpses and memories?
