Brookie, this is quite a sad piece. I guess people cross our paths and leave an imprint on our lives forever no matter what they have done to hurt us is walking away and not looking back.

A lot of this hits home for me. I've come to think that some people are meant to be temporary, to inadvertently lead us to a different path, alter our life in some way - for better or for worse. It's the only way I deal with aches of nostalgia, lol.

I think people come into our lives to teach us a lesson, once the lesson is learnt, it means They already fulfilled their mission. Some stay for a longer time, others not so much, but at least we can keep the good memories in our hearts and take the positive out of it.

I hope you feel better by having written this piece. All the best always.
