A Man
A man once found an old letter in a drawer.
It was from someone he hadn't spoken to in
years. For a moment, he smiled.
Then he folded it back up and put it away.
His friend asked, "Don't you miss them?"
He nodded. "Every day."
"Then why not call?"
The man looked out the window and said,
"Because I miss who they were,
not who they chose to become."
Some goodbyes don't break your heart
all at once. They leave slowly.
One disappointment, one broken promise,
one silence at a time, until one day you realize-
the person you loved is already gone,
even if they're still alive somewhere.
