Goodbye..For Now

Why are goodbyes so hard? Is it because we’re saying goodbye to a happy memory, a time, a place, a person. Or is it because we know that this particular time, this particular place, this particular person, this very moment will be forever gone and it’ll never be the same again. Change is inevitable whether we want it to happen or not, but yet we find it increasingly hard to wave goodbye to the routine we’re so used to whether we’re happy in it or not. All those moments we never grabbed, all those words left unsaid, all the times we’d tell ourselves we’ll do it another day, another time. And in our final goodbyes we’re saddened because we know this is the end and we regret all the things we didn’t say and all the things we didn’t do. We wave goodbye to the ones we love giving promises to see each other again soon and we even wave goodbye to the ones we know we’ll never see again but that we’ll never forget. And as you part your separate ways your saddened by the knowledge of knowing your paths only momentarily met but were never entwined. And then you’re left with a question… where do we go from here?

Who would you keep? Who would you forget?

Once you put someone in your heart their always going to be there. You can’t get rid of them no matter how much you want. But if you could get rid of someone, if you could choose who could remain in your heart and who couldn’t…who would you choose? Who would you get rid of? Who would you keep? Who would you forget? It’s hard when the ones you love tend to be the ones that hurt you the most. I know they say the ones you love should never hurt you but no ones perfect, we all make mistakes. But if you could choose would it be easier? Or would it just mean your lying to yourself? Sometimes there are reasons why people are in our heart, why they remain and why they never left, no matter how black and white the picture is.
