people in your life

I talk a lot in blogs of seasons and people and how many of them are in your life for just a season or two and then they are gone. they come to you when you are in need or sometimes when THEY are the ones in need. You talk and walk through a fire or two together and then... they are gone. My thought today, and i present it to you as a question is this. Have you ever had someone come into your life, even for just a season, that you soend the rest of your life wishing they had not? Now this may sound like I am talking about bad people. Of course we have all crossed paths with someone that we wished we had not ever met for reasons of the bad that happened while they were in our lives. I am not referring to those people. I am talking about someone that came into your life, stoled all that was inside of you and no longer are there. Example: Many, many {too many so don't ask ;)}years ago, a young lady entered my world. She was young and beautiful and everything I could want in a partner. We laughed, we smiled, we touched and we made love. She was the answer to my dreams and it was so much a forever love. Life happened and we moved apart. Not emotionally but physically, she to one side of the world and me to the other. Try as we might, the distance was simply oo far and somewhere, we both silently moved on. Life happened and we found new love and new lives. Marriages were made and babies were born and raised. 30 years of life happened and then, through the gift or curse as it might be, of the internet,she found me. A letter saying simply "A blast from your past" turned my whole world upside down. She was there again, in my world. We talked and laughed and smiled and spoke of touching again. Emotions I thought long gone wereas alive as if... Hmmm??? They never died? And for a whirlwind time, she was mine again. And then, she was gone. Fast and final, she went on again with her life, on too new loves and a new life with another. Would my life had been so terribly different if she had never come into it so many, many years ago? Would things have been so dramatically changed that it would have altered all that I am today? She never have been in my life would have certainly taken from me beautiful times. But would i have been a different man today? Would I have missed so much that she was a must in my life? I still think of her and still wonder why. Why after so long, she needed to come back and send a tornado through my life again. Have you had someone that you simply wish had never touched your life? Someone that changed your world without ever melding into it? I wonder...
