“Muscle memory has been used synonymously with motor learning, which is a form of procedural memory that involves consolidating a specific motor task into memory through repetition. When a movement is repeated over time, a long-term muscle memory is created for that task, eventually allowing it to be performed without conscious effort.”

They say that muscle memory can exist even if your mind has absolutely no recollection of the action. If that’s true, then, do your fingers still remember the way mine feel wrapped between them? Does your heart still remember to beat faster when you see my face? Do your lips still remember the weight of my own pressing against them?
