were only meant
for dreams,
and summer laughter.
They still till the wind changes,
the tides turn,
or disappear
with the first snow.
And then there are some
that were forged
to weather blizzards
and pain with you.
They were cast in iron,
set in gold
and never ever leave you
to face anything alone.
Know who those people are.
And love them the way they deserve.
Not everyone in your life is temporary.
A few are as permanent as love is old.”
