You came

They say people come to our lives for a reason, a season, or for a lifetime.

Why did you come at all I do not know. I certainly did not pray for you, so you didn't come for a reason.

Did you come for a season? Because that's how it looks to me, you came because it was time for me to grow and share and learn, and not necessarily in that order. But if that is the case, then why did your leaving become the point of it all? You were gone even before winter became spring.

You definitely did not come for a lifetime, because you are no longer here.

The irony is that you will forever be part of my life, someone I will always consider as one of the most important people who came. And stayed a while. But then was gone.

They say I should thank you for that...for coming, no matter if it's for a reason, a season, or for a lifetime. Thank you then, though I would have been more grateful if you didn't. I wasn't ready for you, I didn't ask for you, never prayed for someone like you in my life.

Now...
I am ready for someone like you.
I need someone like you.
I want someone like you.
I am even praying for someone like you.

Thank you for coming. Someday I'd thank you for leaving.
