Does Memories Last Forever?

In our life all around us, we are filled with memories. Good or bad they are memories. Do they last? Is it sealed into our brains forever or do we need reminders? Little things such as maybe little pieces of papers with poems, messages or gifts or even a tattoo? It got me thinking on the topic of tattoos, on how far someone will go to tattoo the name or even the face of a loved one onto their bodies. Is it worth it? We all know that tattoos will last for almost forever, it leaves a mark so does it goes to show that your love for that particular person will last forever? What if you break up with that someone? What then will happen to the tattoo? It would just be a mark or even a scar reminding you of the relationship that once was. Well it could be taken on a more positive level, where the tattoo would remind you of the great times you had or it could be a scar or a slap on the face of how horrible and dumb one had been… The irony.. Therefore do people still continue on with it? They do.. Is that love? Is it a symbol of Love? Do we need such things to prove our love?
