They Come and Go.

Sometimes it takes a few years, sometimes a decade if you are stationary long enough. When you cycle through a number of people whom you have grow attached to, whether they be little ones who grow out of you, or piers who's life circumstances have moved them out of fellowship with you. For as long as you live you lose.
The ones who give you meaning, no matter how seemingly insignificant, will be lost to you. You will be alone but not truly. The Creator has always been there and can always be there. The true Father of us all, when recognized and embraced, not only is the true source of meaning in our lives, but the very One who brought meaning to all the fleeting connections who we lose over a lifetime.
He is also the one who holds the promise of an eternal reunion with all those we love. We all ache to hold closely so many whom we love . We are all ached for even by some of whom we may not even be aware. Now we live, we live now, moment by moment, and we love moment by moment. Every moment we chose to live in anger, fear or jealousy is a moment not lived in Love.

  No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us. 1 John 4:12

God is not limited by the passing of time. He is your only hope for the love you seek, both His perfect love and the love of others. You can not fight for love, love must be surrendered to!
