They stop spending time with you or making an effort to see you.

They dont send you Im thinking about you or I miss you texts.

They stop talking to you about their day and whats going on in their lives.

Slowly but surely, they become a stranger.

It feels like years have gone by while in fact, its just been a couple of days.

Your heart feels heavy all of the sudden, and thats when you realize that youve lost them.

Or, maybe they die.

You wake up one day and theyre gone.

They dont give you a warning sign.

They catch you off guard with their departure.

It takes you a while to fathom that theyre gone, that theyre not coming back.

People leave too soon.

People leave without an explanation.

People leave in a cruel way.

Some people leave without leaving.They turn into a ghost.

Their existence becomes indifferent.

Theyre physically there, but thats about it.

Its almost like their soul and their body are in two different dimensions.

You dont just feel the emptiness in-between, you see it.

And sadly, it becomes your reality.

Some people leave by changing.They become the person they promised theyll never be.

You dont recognize them anymore.

And thats not for us to understand, but its something we need to accept.

People always leave.

Its just a matter of time.

Endings arent pretty, but they can be beautiful.

Sometimes endings are exactly what you’re gonna wanna have a breakthrough.

Maybe they give you courage, maybe they give you wisdom, or maybe they give you a reason.

Forgive yourself that people you loved left.

Forgive yourself why they left.

But, most importantly, forgive yourself for the way they did it.

Friend, know that them leaving is not about you, its about them.
