people come and people go

Strange how people move into your life and out of your life like the air you breathe in. You can breathe in all the air you want, but you can't control the oxygen molecules that are retained by your body or lost again when you exhale.

Isn't it kind of sad? I'm feeling a little melancholic tonight.

The nice part is that new people move into your life everyday. Some will remain for a long long time. Some will quietly disappear as quietly as they came. Some leave a colourful and sweet fragrance when they leave.

Some leave ugly black dots when they leave and I probably will have a hard time trying to erase those black dots. Sometimes the black dots are not such stubborn stains that I have to live with it and then perhaps time will make the dots fade away.

I guess without those black dots, probably I would not be able to appreciate the colourful ones.

Hi gal, I think sometimes whether people leave or go is within your control (of course some isn't) cos friendship takes effort. On the other hand, I think sometimes it's necessary and unavoidable to let go of some friendships that one is trying too hard for. People grow apart naturally too, just by living their own lives.

I like the way you put it... people grow apart naturally just by living their own lives. How true...
