People Change
Sometimes you have a friend; you share you lives in such a way, that you talk more than once or even more than twice a day….
Another friend who’s a mom that you only see on planned out girls weekend….
or that friend who moved away so you know you won’t see them until the next holiday…
but you’re a social butterfly so you meet someone new
and all of a sudden seems like your friends just become people ‘you knew’…
something happened or maybe nothing at all….
was it a big fallout or just several things that were small?
Words unsaid feelings unexpressed…
you know how they are so you dare not suggest,
that now when you come around you feel like a guest…
it’s hard to grow separately, without growing apart even with the best intentions and love still in your heart….
Maybe they just needed you at that time in their life…maybe you had the need to be needed… but now you’re learning to enjoy life…
It makes you feel better to think they came into your life but were not meant to stay…
but is that really true? Or just something people say?
When trying to find a reason why… people they know… become people they knew?
Maybe there’s no reason at all, it’s just called LIFE…. so embrace it with no expectations….to avoid disappointments…so when something beautiful happens…you’re genuinely grateful…
People change, feelings change, doesn’t mean that the love shared wasn’t real or true…you don’t always have to answer the question… was it them or was it you?
