People come and go.

It’s true. And just when you want to ask if any of them could stay, you’d realize plenty of them did—all those people around you did.
Even if they were just there, like that list of “friends” that you entitle to on Facebook, they stayed; you might have grown up with them, were best friends at some point, never liked them, or have had an almost-complete conversation with once or twice.

They were there all along, and they are still around.

So what does it mean when one says “people come and go”? As in...in and out of one’s frame of life? By that, does it mean within everyday, school, work, neighborhood, internet, or a phone number?
At the end of the day, how is one supposed to feel connected to anyone without physical interaction or technical communication; when will people actually “stay”?
How is it possible, for this flow of relationships to go by so casually, so mindlessly, and so heartlessly? Or is it in itself, realistically and entirely, merely casual, mindless, and heartless?

Is it more appropriate, or shall I say, beneficial for myself, to not be affected with the idea of “casual relationships” because people do come and go, which is a social pattern that many people live with? Otherwise, my emotions would be too all-over-the-place, for people come and go while I am not capable of letting go, of forgetting, and of forgiving myself.

What to do, what to do. Nothing to do.

People come and go.
