That which is extraordinary.

It all happened, all that was bound to happen — and I will not forget you like how you will not forget me.

You always remember that which cannot be forgotten, that which cannot be replaced. You know what it meant for it does not happen to all. That which is extraordinary.

We shall remember it all while others take the comfortable path of letting go — as if nothing happened.
