We take life for granted
Assuming that the people we see for a few weeks
Will always stay with us
We forget how life takes a bend sometimes when we least expect it
We believe in constants-
Leaving the variables of our existence to whomever it may concern
But now we’re beginning to understand-
That things will never stay the same
And people will leave and not always because they chose to,
Sometimes it’s because they’ve been called to
But the memories-
Those memories will stay
Because those are the ones that remind us how beautiful everything once was.
Maybe not every death is a loss
Some open our eyes to life and its fullness
To beauty beyond skin and bones and to places we can’t reach from earth.
And maybe not every loss ought to be looked at as pain
Maybe this loss is their gain
Maybe this loss put them in a better place.
And with all the love that we have
Maybe we should allow ourselves to be happy for them.
For isn’t love hopeful?
Hopeful that someday
You’ll be together again?
