It Took Me A Long Time. Poem by Sandra Kavanagh Josefsson

It took me a long time to understand,
that not everything in life is meant to
be a beautiful story.
Not every person we feel something profound with,
is meant to be forever.

Sometimes people come into our lives
to teach us how to love
and sometimes people come into our lives to teach us how not to love,
How not to diminish ourselves ever again.

Sometimes people leave but thats okay,
because the lessons always stay
and that is what counts the most
and that is what remains.

Verse: Sandra Kavanagh (c) .
