Wiggle Room

Some people have this way of just wiggling themselves right into your soul. And once they get there, they find themselves a little hole or corner and become such an essential part of who you are that without them you are lost. You become the dog chasing it's tail- endlessly trying to grab on and never let go, yet never able to truly grab hold. You have moments where you seek them out. Moments where you try to find them or replace them and yet success seems to elude you. Left standing there with empty hands and a hole, not very big but there, left empty. Sometimes you wonder- "would life be better without this void?" Yet if you were to look back on your life you would realize that the answer is "no". Because without them you would not be you. They have come, maybe briefly and for just a few moments, and left an impression on your life so deep that nothing can erase or move it. It becomes a part of you- of who you are. This impression pushes you forward to be better, to live deeper, and to embrace those parts of you that are there because of someone else.
