Sempiternal

There are a handful of people who have walked in and out of my life that I still think about.  The ones who have taught me the lesson, no matter how much you love someone, sometimes to be loved is not enough. Unfortunately when they leave it's like ripping off a band-aid to soon so it hurts and you're left bleeding. Plus depending how bad it was, you get a scar, these people are scars on my soul. Sometimes it itches or hurts and you remember it's there and recall how you got it. The bigger picture would be that they became a part of me.  I learn to go day by day without thinking about them. Until I do and I have to remember I'm  still alive, when I thought for sure your cut would be what killed me. I don't spend as much time on these wounds anymore because as I've gotten older I've realized how easy it is for people to hurt me, even if I've given all I've got for them. I've also figured out just because someone hurts me, I don't have to stop loving them. So for this handful of people, I'll inevitably end up thinking about them from time to time,
Hoping you have a jacket when it's cold
An umbrella when it's raining
Coffee when you're tired
Hope when your down
And someone to tell you you'll be okay when your scars start hurting.
