Because I didn't want to lose them.
The current was pulling me away but I persevered.
I backtracked.
I retraced my steps.
I paused and I tried to reconnect.
But what I thought was life pulling me away from them was the innocent party.
I thought I needed to make an effort to stay.
So I did.
I waited.
And I walked backwards.
I built a bridge and I asked them to meet me there.
Until I realized the sun was setting and they weren't to be found.
That's when I knew it wasn't really life that separated us.
It wasn't the current.
It was ourselves.
Finding happiness in different places.
Maybe I need to stop.
Maybe I need to stop pushing.
Maybe I should stop going out of my way.
Maybe some things,
Some people,
They just disappear.
And there's no need for goodbyes
Because it's not really a dead end.
It's a crossover.
They took a different path.
And so did I.
