Simplified Meaning:

Sometimes, relationships or experiences from our past leave a lasting impression on us, even if we think we have moved on. Imagine you had a favorite song you used to listen to with a close friend. Even if you no longer remember the lyrics or haven’t heard the song in years, you might find yourself humming the tune when you hear music that reminds you of it. The friend's presence seems to linger in everyday moments, even if you don't actively think about them anymore. In life, this often happens with people we’ve loved deeply. We might feel like we have forgotten them, but we still notice little reminders of them everywhere—in places we used to visit together, in objects we associate with them, or in memories triggered by small details. Applying this to our lives, it teaches us that some connections leave a mark that can’t be easily erased. We should accept these feelings as part of our experiences and understand that moving on doesn’t mean forgetting completely. Instead, it means finding a way to live with these memories while continuing to grow and create new ones.
