found & lost

we burn a magnificent amount of bridges in the course of a lifetime.

people exit our lives just as quickly as they entered.
due to some sort of something, big or small, communication was severed.
the reason can be as simple or complex as you like,
but in spite of it all they are gone.

i always wonder about the could-have-beens.

those who slipped through the cracks.
those whose potential was never learned.
those who i won't ever see or meet again.
the ones i didn't even give a fighting chance.

oh, but there is beauty in fragility.
