I think of those people,
time and time again.
I tend to think of those,
who left me with much pain.
They tend to be the people,
that started like a dream,
I used to think they were,
the nicest I have seen.
They brought a lot of laughter,
and smiles and jokes my way.
They were the kind of people,
I really wished would stay.
I got used to their presence,
and I felt more secure,
I slowly let them inside,
I opened up my door.
But it was wishful thinking,
to wish that they would stay,
Because, just like shooting stars,
they passed and flew away.
Leaving behind those memories,
that were not meant to be,
Just like a piece of hot iron,
they left a mark on me.
I don't see them any more,
but if I did, I'd say,
"Thanks for the times you made my day,
by having the right words to say.
"Thanks for genuinely,
pointing out the flaws in me.
Though it was gradually,
you played a part in changing me.
Perhaps we are not meant to last,
Only to be a memory of the past.
Even though we drifted apart,
you'll always have some place in my heart."
To those who I got close to at some point in time, but have since drifted from.
