It Struck a Small Chord

I wrote this over a week ago and never found the opening for it. So here it is now.

It was buried among other lines meant to bring a laugh... and so it did. It's the truth and you'll see what I mean when you read it. However, it also spoke the truth in a very different way.

I've learned that the people you care most about in life are taken from you too soon and all the less important ones just never go away.

Can you see how this can be taken both ways? It sent a chill to my bones. So innocently placed yet so much meaning. Alas, I don't know which category I fall in with most of my friends, but I fear I'll be in that first one.

I'm sorry, I'm just a bit somber today for some reason. Sometimes, the smallest words can bring you to a new perspective. Therefore, I leave you with the words: don't sweat the small stuff, stop and smell the roses, and tell those people you care for how much you love them. I love you.

P.S. I don't know if the person that sent this to me reads this frequently but I just want to make sure you know, Thank you. It may bring me down sometimes but it is a reminder that life goes on. *Huggles*
