“And if I’m dead to you, why are you at the wake? Cursing my name, wishing I stayed”- Taylor Swift

How come someone misses a person they have caused great pain in the past?

How could someone miss something they never once cared for?

As others have said, “Cherish this person, you never know how it will be when he or she is gone”. Life moves too fast that we realize really late— that we, have missed something.

It is ironic— how a person wishes to have someone disappear in their life, only to realize their worth once they are gone. A little late, isn’t it?

Our life is like a puzzle pad, with puzzle pieces of different people fitting in it. Once these people leave, they change — they become a different shape of puzzle piece that won’t fit anymore.

And as much as we would love to bring back those old people in our lives, we know we can’t — they won’t fit . We have changed, they have changed — they have become a different puzzle piece wherein they cannot fit into our puzzle pad again.
