I'm beginning to realize how people come to lose each other.

When my mom tells me of her ex-boyfriends, I wonder how it is that she could let them go
just like that. Or how she can stomach having spent precious moments of her life with someone,
and just letting them fade away into complete oblivion.

I mean, frankly, how can you let someone you've slept with just go away like that?
You shared each other's bodies, each other's souls, and you allow them to just
walk out of your life so easily?

I shared with them precious time, months and years of my life. And now they're nowhere to
be found. It's not that I am not over them as lovers; it is that I am not over them
as sharers of my time- accomplices to dear moments and ecstacy.

I am weird like that.

So I do not comprehend, at all.

Someone please explain to me how this is possible.
