When we are little, growing up, we look at the people in our lives and cannot imagine living our lives without these people there to live it with us. As we get older we realize people come and go, whether through death, arguments, growing apart, divorce, or sometimes with no reason or warning at all.

I think about some of the people that have gone from my life recently, and sometimes it makes me very sad. Whether it was misunderstandings, lies, hateful words spoken, broken trust… whatever the reason, it still doesn’t make the transition from having them in your life everyday, to never speaking to them again easy.
Watching someone you loved making people a priority that only consider them an option is difficult. I suppose in the end non of it really matters much.
It all seems to collide together in the end doesn’t it? Sometimes losing a friend or loved one is like a death or a divorce.
A death would almost be easier I think, I’ve been there. It is a hard experience, but at least you know that person didn’t CHOOSE to walk away, they were taken from you. Maybe a divorce is a better analogy.
When you divorce it is a choice. Sometimes Losing someone you cared for is a choice, and although it was a choice made with everything in mind, it doesn’t make it any easier or less painful.
I’ve had a lot of regrets in my life, This is one that I know I can get past, eventually, but getting there is proving to be more difficult then I had thought or planned.
