Not Everyone You Love Stays

Not everyone you love will stay because not everyone will love you as much as you love them.

Not everyone you meet in your life will stay till the ned or as much you would have hoped them to, because that is the bitter reality of life.

Some will leave you too soon and some, even though you have not really lost them,

You have.

Because their priorities change,

Their needs change,

And

Because maybe they do not want to put as many efforts as you do or maybe,

They can not because life has them caught up.

For others,

Even when you are inseparable,

The beauty of death will make sure to separate you.

People will come and they will go and what can we do other than accept this reality?

Do not hold on to the hands,

That does not long for yours anymore.
