Maybe We're Still Young

"Maybe that’s just growing up.
When you’re young, you tell yourself things like ‘Well, if it didn’t work out,
it wasn’t meant to be’ as if that actually
meant something just because it sounds like it does.
I think you can say something like that
so blithely because you expect to stumble
onto something else just as wonderful just around
the next bend in the road.

But people are rare perfect unique things
and just because everyone really does live a life
full of farewells doesn’t mean you shouldn’t at least
realize what it really means to say goodbye to something
that meant everything.
Just because you WILL survive
and get over it doesn’t mean you should let it go."
