A Poem

Maybe some people are better as memories

Sometimes they’re just not that interested in you or me

Let them flee

If they care

They will stay

But if not

It’s better to let them go their way

They were there when you needed them

Or they needed you

But you cannot force their presence

So thank them for their gifts

And their presents

But perhaps it’s time to let them go

You cannot hold them forever

If they will not stay on their own

So store their love in your heart

And if they come back

Continue where you left off
