Just like a tattoo

I was driving around the other day, and heard the song "Tattoo" by Jordin Sparks. I almost changed it (so overplayed) until I started listening to the words.

"I will never regret you
Still the memory of you
Marks everything I do"

I started to think about all the people who have come in and out of my life...ok mainly the boys. Boys I've dated, boys I've had crushes on, boys who've had crushes on me, etc. All of them, in some form or other, have changed the way I am, the way I think, the way I think of myself, the way I act, and the way I treat others. Some have been good for me and some have been bad.

"I can't waste time so give it a moment
I realize nothing's broken
No need to worry about everything I've done
Live every second like it was my last one"

I would like to tell you that with every boy, I was did what was appropriate, forgot those who weren't good for me, and gave more attention to the boys who were nicer, but that's not what happened.

"Admit that I'm wrong
And then change my mind
Sorry but I've gotta be strong
And leave you behind"

But I've realized that, good or bad, I can learn something from everyone. And that no matter what, I could never forget anyone I once spent time and had feelings for.

"Just like a tatoo
I'll always have you"
