and then someone rips that canvas a bit, or stains or tarnishes it, and you have lost a bit of your identity, your ways, and you are lost until you re-paint and re-create yourself. then you are not the same again, you will never be the same person until maybe they come back into your life or you meet someone just like them ,and that new person can help repair that broken painting, and you continue with your sad life, knowing that what you once had will never be yours again
