And then they have to go... this is the way life is...

She said;

Sometimes special people come into our lives,

stay for a bit

And then they have to go

The little girl said;

But that's sad...

Then she replied;

It is

But the bit where they were in, was happy 

Wasn't it?

The tiny girl nodded;

Yeah..

We had a lot of fun together

She said thoughtfully;

Maybe that makes it all worth it...

My friend asked me;

Isn't sad?

I said;

What?

He said;

How the things that we often wanna forget

Are the things that once made us the happiest

...

Note from Meia;

Today I am making the decision to let go

Of the things that are in the past

Yes, they were happy memories

Yes, I wanted them to last forever

BUT

No, they did not last forever

No, I will never experience the exact same thing again

BUT

I can make new and happier memories

Nothing ever lasts forever anyways

I am letting go happily
