The People Who Stay

Man we can fight hard to keep the wrong people in our lives. The misaligned people we want to be our people so bad but when they fall away, we breathe easier even as we grieve them. Seeing them through eyes of love, even when our eyes are filled with tears as we realize their place in our lives was meant to be temporary, leaves so much more space for the parts of ourselves we need to water. And ofc then the right others stay and new flower friends bloom as well.
