Change/Coming to terms/???

It's funny how things change
how people grow
and some people stay
the same
Its also funny
to see parts of you
in other people
A former crush
of mine is getting
married soon
Weve kept in lose touch
over the past few
years
I've let him go
and let the friendship or
acquaintance grow
and found someone that
is far better for me
Than he could be then
or probably even now
Its also funny to realize
how much I've changed since
then and how
similar his soon-to-be wife
seem
I'm a lot more mature now
and have more direction
with my life
I also am a lot less
self-centered than
I used to be.
Its almost funny:
at one time I hated her
simply out of green-eyed
jealousy
Now I could see that she
could be, very easily
one of my friends
But that is because
I am older now
I've found my inner beauty
and then some
I can also see
the both of them too
I sometimes ponder
why I meet the people
I meet and why
some of them keep
in contact
and others just fade
away with the sunlight
at the end of the night
I think that we can learn a
lesson from everyone
Some lessons take longer
to learn
and some are meant to
be in our lives forever
All of which we
have no part in choosing.
