every once in a while you meet someone
and you know in meeting them that their purpose in your life is not to last forever
you might not fall in love with them
or become their partner in life's adventures
but even though it seems that we should be sad to let go of something so simple and indifferent and fine in a life of chaos and choices to be made,
it just isn't
because even though their presence isn't one to last,
at least for a little while you've had someone to talk about life with
who doesn't expect anything more out of you
than a heart going down a completely different path
willing to listen
