I have lost a lot of people in my short life

Through death, and time, and distance

But never before have i ever lost someone through choice

And it is a devastating feeling

Because it was never going to be my choice

But in the end it was yours

And in some ways the act of losing someone by choice

Is infinitely more devastating

Then if I were to have lost them through death or time or distance.

Because at least than there was an excuse

I could have just told those who asked

"We don't talk anymore, we just grew apart"

Or

"We don't talk anymore, the distance made it to hard"

But now when people ask, all i can tell them is
"We don't talk anymore"

And I cannot give them a single reason why.

At least when I lose someone to time

That gives me an excuse to tell people

Better than the one that you gave me.

Maybe, at some point, the universe decided that we just weren't meant to be.
