Why is it...?
Why is it that the people you can do without -- the ones you don't want to have come back into your life for whatever reason -- seem to be magnetically-drawn to you?
You know the type: those few individuals, that once encountered, are oh-so-toxic and make you feel like you're wearing a wet lambswool sweater in the middle of August when their names are even mentioned or when you see their number flash across your caller ID. Perhaps they were once cherished, but then something went awry and now...a feeling of dread overcomes you when you even so much as think of them. Why is it that those are the ones that seem to always cross your path...when you least expect (or want) them to?
And then...on that same note, those that you yearn to have back in your life and miss incredibly and inexplicably...and hold dear to your heart...they're not there. And the feeling associated with that? It's like waking up in the middle of the night expecting to have that other person asleep next to you...and realizing he is not there in the place you were expecting or wanting him to be.
