why is it....
that we save old letters and emails and cards and things? and why do we go back and reread them later? and why are they so powerful? it's like the whole flood of emotion felt when you first received the words comes back. only, you pile up ALL the correspondance related to one person and it makes the flood niagara-falls-sized. sometimes, i think rereading things is a bad idea....

There's a box of postcards and letters tied up in ribbon that might need to be burned sooner than later. I can never decide if I kept them for the packrat, masochist, or simply the sentimental poet in me.
