People

People come, people go,

what stays behind are memories.
People say, people do,
whats left behind are emotions.
But life goes on, as time goes on,
and we start fooling ourselves with
the people themselves.
Its not them that matters,
what matters is how they felt.
How they felt in my company,
how I felt for them, no matter
if I met them again. No matter
if I did what they wanted. I am
the fortunate one to know them,
and blessed to have been known.
So care for those who care, and
adore those who don't. Love the ones
who love, and even those who won't.
Life is too long with hatred, and too
short for love. So cherish 'NOW',
as best as you may, and leave the
rest for nature, to sort out
in its own sweet way.

Have a good day!
