From what I’ve learned…

Some, you will never see again.
Others, you will see every day.

Some may leave for years, only to return and speak as though time has not passed.
Others, you will leave, and upon meeting again, will act as though the past never existed.
Some, you may run in to, and the past will be spoken of and laughed at.
Others, you may collide with, and the past will be met with anger or disinterest.

I’ve learned that some move on quickly, and do not hesitate or look back.
I’ve seen that others take their time, and cling to their memories, even after years past.
I’ve learned that some may appear to continue, yet a fleeting moment gives them away and you can hear in their voice that they still remember.
And others – others just move on, forgetting all that was. Just a memory to erase.

Myself?

I’ve learned that I’m one of those people who keep all things somewhere close to their hearts, yet, not close to the mind.
I’ve learned that sometimes, I must let go, and allow others to move on too.
For in the ocean of life, many a tide will come in and flow out, many a person will drift through, and each must be free to do so, free to ride the waves as ever they may please…
