people.always.leave.

I'll say hello but cautiously, Goodbye is lurking near. I'll meet anyone but surely They won't or can't stay here. Whether their stay is long or small, I can't ignore the sting. The boy was right after all, You can't promise a thing.... With or without intent to deceive, Sooner or later people leave. Siblings grow up and leave home, Grandparents drift above, Good friends inevitably roam And farewells replace their love. Even the one who takes your name And proudly wears your ring, Yes, even he will do the same, He'll eventually take the wing. Till that time comes you won't believe, Even so, people always leave. Though new love comes and feels so real, Though smiles may return, And time's magic has helped you heal, You'll never forget the burn. Soon photography and memories Will take each persons place. And the lonely, chilling, autumn breeze Will replace their warm embrace. Through the years you'll begin to conceive, Though they may come, people always leave.
