Closure

[Judy Thompson]

 

Just a wave, nothing more,  to let you know this end of the continent still floats,

global warming real or imagined has yet to turn us into crispy critters,

and life rolls on.

 

I see  you're well, and thriving.    I think of you often, and miss our convos,

but things change;   people move on,  forcibly and otherwise.

 

And one thing Ive found;  in some regards, you can't go back.  It's been tried;

and beyond the sense of closure,  there's nothing but air, once the loose ends have

been tied off.

 

Be well, be happy. 

[Judy Thompson]

true, dat.  You both grow, and change, until  one realizes that there is more--or less--than they need in the relationship,  and gradually moves away.  I guess the secret is to acknowledge it, and metaphorically wave goodbye as the train pulls away.   There really is no 'over",  just a dwindling.

The saddest of love/friendship stories are those that are forced closed.

there's nothing but air, once the loose ends have been tied off. Very nice.
