Connections

People come into our lives and people go. Some go far, far away. Some go away for good. Some leave footprints and others leave daggers, broken pieces. Some people leave loyalty, love, peace, knowledge, even fear or pride. Some people leave irreplaceable memories, some leave heartache we wish we could never remember. Some leave us smiles and warm hugs that we can always feel.

People come into our lives and people go. And some people come back into our lives. Perhaps these are the people that always give us butterflies no matter how many times we see them. Perhaps these are the people that we can't quite let go of no matter how hard we try. Perhaps these are the people that we can recall the exact moment we met- where we were, what we were wearing, doing, saying. Whether it was "love at first sight" in the high school auditorium, a celebrity lookalike passing by, a random meeting on a dark street by a police car, or a one on one awkward hello in the school gym. Some people just leave a lasting impression, whether it's love or not we may never know. Whether it's what we want just because we know we can't have it, or whether it's something real. These are special people that we have special connections with, and may they always have a place in my heart.
