Growth

It is the worst feeling to drown while trying your hardest to stay afloat,

It is the hardest to watch your friends walk away while reaching for them,

It is almost as if quitting will give me my peace,

the peace i long for over this straining emotion,

should keeping people you love be this hard,

I understand that some move on but do any of them stay ?

At the time it was so upsetting but time helped me understand,

as we all grow it may be closer and it may be farther apart, 

every event has a purpose,

we're all just part of a bigger picture,

but only time, growth, and aging could tell me that,

someone who's meant to will stay eventually, and it won't be a fight to keep them around.
