The Door

The world will continue to rotate tomorrow as it did today
but nothing is ever the same.
  No moment is identical to any other
and no person is either.
  Knowing this makes goodbyes difficult-
because no matter how hard people try to stay in touch,
we can never recreate the circumstances that drew us together.
  We can never relive fond memories;
  and yet saying goodbye acts like a door-
  the people can choose to leave and never reopen the door,
or they can revisit the door and create new memories together.
  Whatever the case may be
we never forget those we loved
and those who loved us back will always meet us at the door again someday
