“A mistake repeated more than once is a decision.” and I didn’t want to trust these false signs again. If these feelings were ephemeral, I wish that they would disappear as fast as the lifeline of a mayfly.

The flowers were blooming again as a sign of the noteworthy reunion of two souls that weren’t supposed to be separated by fate, or that was what I thought of him from the start. Everything went normal like nothing tragic had happened in the past and the feelings were taking me apart slowly. I forced myself to believe that only a foolish person would repeat the same mistake. But those feelings were mayflies, they died one by one as the day arrived.

Ephemeroptera or mayfly universally symbolizes transience, the brevity of life, and the importance of living fully in the present moment. From my perspective, it also symbolizes the feelings that appear after transcending someone that is precious to you. The feelings had been haunting me since that reunion and I didn’t know how to escape, maybe these words would help me to lift the weight off my shoulders and was it true? The truth was hidden beneath the incertitude. Then I realized, the feelings were evanescing as the clock was ticking continuously. They were ephemeral and of course, they almost deceived me to repeat the same mistake.
