Red Light I Love Yous

Some people just leave

Not every movie gets a sequel

Not every book gets a ghost writer after the Author dies

Some shows get cancelled. Some jobs just don’t work out.

Pets just die. Friends abruptly move away.

If we focus too much on the unsatisfying endings,

It soils the entire journey up to that point.

You don’t need to blindly accept the unacceptable,

But you do need to find fulfillment in the unfulfilled

And be pleased with the displeasure.

Some goodbyes are better left unsaid
