Person who passed by..

It's Trish's turn to take control of the keyboard, with Mister and Merlin on her side.  Someone used to say that each person that enter our lives each serve some purposes. The purposes might not be so obvious at the moment.. or even long after the person had walked out of our lives.. But they entered, did what they have to do, and just walked out.. Amazing, isn't it? And when the time of departure arrives, life takes its own course.. there's nothing you can do to stop it from happening.. You could try your best.. but in the end.. you would be sitting there on the floor.. with bruises and scratches on your hand and legs.. from holding on the rope for too long.. and it only prolong the ending just a few minutes.. and left with a lot of painful memories of the struggle to let go.
But, for real though, struggling to let go is part of life.. it's part of human nature.. you found something you want.. you really want.. something that bring you joy.. brighten up your world, bring you to places you couldn't even imagine.. and then.. on one magnificent day.. that thing is to be taken away.. oh.. now you kick.. and you scream.. and you beg in tears.. just to have it for only a little longer.. you're on your knee.. willing to trade everything you own for just one more moments with the 'Thing'.. and if you actually get that moment.. you still want more.. it never ends.. 
The 'Thing' got taken away anyway.. and you feel like you would never recover.. it's not possible.. The pain is too harsh.. the cut is too deep.. you're bleeding inside.. wallowing in your own blood and tears.. nothing will ever cure you.. the pain.. the sorrow.. the suffering is here to stay.. Time will heal.. BS.. it can heal other pains.. but not this.. not this time.. not this lost.. you can't survive without the 'Thing'..
And one way.. over the blue moon.. another stranger passed by.. it's not love.. it's not even attraction.. it's just a conversation.. a glance.. or even a gush of wind in a quiet afternoon.. and it's just like the key was unlocked.. the weight you have been carrying just disappear.. or more like.. you found a way to put it down.. a door appears from nothingness.. and upon opening the door, you exit a black-and-white dream and entering this lush colorful reality.. where everything can be appreciated.. each bite of food is full of flavor.. the wind caress you softly.. the sun sprinkles some kisses... and the world is full of these little surprises that keep you giggle or at least smirk.. and you wonder.. where have I been all these times.. what had just happened.. and it's just a person who passed by..
