All we needed

It's funny how sometimes all
we needed was
a line from a song
a quote from a book
or movie
to realize how we really feel
and
all we needed was
a smile from a friendly stranger,
a good cup of tea,
a walk in the rain,
an old song
to briefly put us back together
before we fall apart all over
again

Numb it out.

Here's to: The letters we never sent.
the notes we never passed.
the crushes we were too afraid to say we liked.
the mistakes we were too scared to make.
the ships that never sailed.
the promises we couldn't keep.
the bad dreams we just couldn't wake.
the thunder storms on our weekend plans.
the life long friendships that eventually end.
the stories that don't end with "happily ever after"
the families that fall apart.
the people that change.
the seasons that end.
the family members that pass away.
the love that leaves.
the times in life that will leave you breathless speechless and you feel like you could die.

But eventually you get used to it all. You learn to numb it out.
Because honestly, that's just part of life...

The past is the past.

We cry over

Friends we will never have back

People we once loved

Bridges that have been burnt

But there's a reason

The past is in the past.
You only have so much

Room in your life,

Save it

For people that deserve it.

Chances are,

If someone's in the past,

They deserve to

Stay there.
