We often desire for good things in life to last forever like everlasting love or unbreakable friendships.

The reality is that all relationships will eventually reach the end of the road.

Memories, doesn’t matter if it’s positive or negative, every experience changes us in a different way.

season changes
in its constant cycle
time only flows
in one direction
always forward
never backward
faces come and go
saddening the heart
mourning relationship
that runs its course

such is the way of life
like a painful art
with a heavy heart
accepting come what may
learning things
that we would never otherwise
in this bittersweet cycle
that no one can evade

though sadness lingers
life will go on
walking past the darkness
towards the light
with cherished memories
close to our heart
