A Word Document...

I was typing a long piece of writing which I did not really like that much so I decided to clear the text by using the back space button on the keyboard… As I watched the letters fade away with every click, I realized something: the similarity between typing on a word document and a relationship.

A relationship is just as simple as the process of typing on your keyboard:

Every click represents time (in seconds, minutes, days, weeks, months or years).

Every letter symbolizes communication of any type (call, message, face to face).

Every word signifies a new sensation, feeling or awareness (admiration, interest, love, etc).

Every exclamation mark demonstrates a sudden change of heart, plan or intention.

Every new paragraph marks a new beginning, an unsullied day, a fresh level or a new stage.

Now, what does the back space button imply?

I guess it clearly distinguishes the end of an “era” two people have spent together… Two people who kept reading and reading their story together and decided to let go and move on… To erase all their memories… To start typing a new word document!
