People come and go, there is no doubt about that.
But, why should we let people stay in-between? I mean, neither with us nor without us.
Should'nt we be happy just because of the fact that they are still around?
No.
We have to learn to let go.
Letting go of them physically will be the hardest part. Once that is done everything will follow. The memories, those long late-night talks, the inside jokes, even the feeling you get when you are with that special |individual|.
And that is all they are. An ordinary individual bag of being.
You will miss them and that is alright...
But remember at the end of the day,
They either stay or they leave. There is no in-between.
