The past normally stays in the past but sometimes it creeps up into your present and changes your future. For a while now I have been struggling with this certain person from my past and my feelings have been up and down on the situation. Do I keep him in my life? Or say good bye forever? I've hurt and cried and loved and laughed. Shared good memories and bad. But all that doesn't matter now. It doesn't matter how I feel or how much I hurt. What matters is that this certain person needs me to step up and push the problems aside. He needs someone to tell him everything is going to be okay and that i'm there for him. To give him a hug on days that he feels he can't make it through. To wipe his snot and tears as he cries over the loss he's felt and the loss that will be. I now feel that he was put back in my life not for my happiness or my satisfaction but for his. To make sure that he stays on the right path through these winding roads and that he finds his way. For him to know that he will never be alone no matter how much he feels it. That someone does and will always love him. I know now, it was meant to be.
