As a little kid I wondered why people in tv shows and movies would say
“Hey don’t be a stranger” to one of the characters.
How can a person be a stranger if they have already known them for a while?
Now that I am older, I realize one thing:
People can turn into strangers.
One minute you’re friends with them
The next you’re walking passed them without noticing who it was because of how much They have changed.

They say we die a thousand times before our hearts stop beating
I agree

One is the sigh of a person giving up on you
Another is the grasp of a loved one fading away
When you walk away and no one calls your name
You die again when you hear the goodbye of a person
you thought would stay
You die the minute you realized you wasted your life
on someone or something that isn't even going to happen
When someone you thought cares forgets your birthday,
You die a little bit but live on anyway
You die when someone you knew so well becomes a stranger
& when someone you love doesn't even bother to know you
You die when you feel you're never good enough
You die again when there's no hope
after all that's said and all that's done
You die every time someone leaves
and when someone dies, you die with them

You die a thousand times before your heart stops
And even after that, when one by one people start to forget you,
**you die again
