There’s a quote that says people come into our lives for a reason,
season or lifetime and I always hope you’re sticking around for the latter.
But
if you are a reason, it must be to show me that I need to fix the breaks and
embrace the wounds. Perhaps you’ve served that purpose and any day now we’ll
part ways. That’s a sad thought – heartbreaking in fact, but maybe that’s just
the way it is.
If you’re a season it’s because you were more necessary than you
probably realized and a significant part of my surviving a difficult stretch in
life. You provided the little bit of light in an abyss of darkness, the
nourishment when I was starving, the ears when I needed a listener. Like most
seasons though, you’ll run your course and suddenly be gone. Reasons and seasons
both suck in the end, but they’re deserving of some appreciation if you take
them for what they’re worth.
Now if you are a lifetime – well then that means everything is
going to work out. The worries, concerns and uncertainty will eventually
disappear. Being involved in each other’s forever may not show in the cards
right now, but who’s to say that the next hand we’re dealt won’t make it
visible? If you’re here for a lifetime then that changes everything. If you’re
here for a lifetime we haven’t met at the worst time, we’ve met at the right
one — the perfect one.
