Uninvited

As I've said before, I believe that people come into our lives for a reason. I also believe they leave our lives for a reason. What I have encountered recently is something in between the two.

 

A person came into my life. They gave me inspiration, the permission to dream, welcomed my ideas and appreciated my different view on life. Life was grand. I had a reason to focus and work hard. I had a reason to believe.

 

Then, one day, the person I knew was gone. They were still in my life...but somehow, the connection I had with then had dissipated.

 

I wonder if the purpose of our meeting already happened and I missed it.

 

When I think back, I realize that this is not the first time this has happened to me. When I was younger, I would try to hold onto people from every stage of my life. I never wanted to fall out of touch with anyone. I see now, that people lose touch for a reason, and that I should let go more easily.
