There was a time, when someone would walk out on me without a reason, and I would be left with only one thing.
A curiosity so strong, I could barely make it through the darkness of that one word.
Why?
Then it started happening.
Those people started to come back.
Years apart.
Paths start crossing and things have a way of coming around.
There must be some merit to the String theory!
And when they come around, the backs are no longer turned.
To avoid looking into the eyes is no longer an option.
The truth is Absolution!
It is never what I expect the answer to be.
Never an assumed flaw I wondered about.
Even though, relentless self scrutiny did offer observations that remedied many a real flaw I had.
It is a poisoned gossip vine.
Or a weak spine.
Sometimes, mere inconvenience.
Greater than the closure, is the lesson.
The more precious for the bitter way it is learned.
When someone turns their back on you for apparently no reason, the Universe is giving you a gift!
Accept it and cherish the opportunity to know the truth about someone's character.
Q. Why?
A. Because...
Sometimes we need just an ear.
Sometimes we need a hand to hold.
Sometimes we need a shoulder to prop on.
Sometimes, we need to look into the mirror of a turned back.
