Water

Some stayed like they would in a glass , then evaporated , leaving sediments of memories behind.
Some flow through my heart even now , after all these years, washing away pain and loneliness.
Some join me like tributaries and then flow away again , but we keep meeting like we were never apart.
Some ebb and flow , some rush and gush , some are petering away.
Some taste like honey , some have a bitter aftertaste.
Some are scented and spicy , some are fiery and feisty , some are robust , warm and cozy.
Friendships are like water.
