this is for every person who has had someone walk out the door

There are lessons in life,
That's what they all say, literally every single fucking person on this floating rock has either uttered or been uttered that very sentence. There are lessons in life they say, and I find on this night, when all signs are pointing to the door, that you have become one.
I mean I always understood that, yes of course, but never had the true resolution within myself to understand set in such as this.
Honestly It's strange, there is truth, but somehow truth can be corrupt, it can be subjective; and it couldn't make sense if I tried to explain it backwards.
We find truth within ourselves much easier than in others.
"They are lessons in life just as there are months in a year",
that is what my teacher says.
I learned so many lessons and now you are one of them, I smile as I write this, I also cry.
I understand now,
something I didn't before,
I understand truth, honesty,
I understand my teacher, I understand lessons.
