At some point you really helped us all
And I think that’s why you find yourself
In the mess you are today
You suddenly popped into our lives
Made them change course
And No, I don’t think I can speak for everybody you have touched
But I think that part is the same for all of us
Who refuse to let go
No matter what your own thoughts are
I think you somehow saved us
From something that we feared
Or made us clean up some of the mess in our lives
Yes, that’s true
It would have been so much harder without you
Backing us up
So you became a precious person
Somebody worth holding on to
But you would always look far away
Looking for another person
Your feelings seemed so evanescent
It made me afraid
But the truth is
You always kept each one of us in your heart
Didn’t you?
It is hard to share love
For some might grow greedy
While others feel neglected
(No need to say, I have played both parts)
Some may search endlessly for a replacement
To project their feelings on
Because emotions rarely disappear
They merely change form, or change object
To actually know a person
You will inevitably receive scars
Yes, I have them too
Although invisible to the eye
But not to the heart
For it remembers
Until my dying day
I will have collected many scars
And I will remember their purpose
What they’ve taught me
And what they mean
But the word “scar” has an all too negative meaning
Let us call them imprints instead
Little pieces of you
In me
And I cherish them all.
