This bums me out too. Just because something is necessary or inevitable doesn’t make it easy

Spring and Fall

to a young child

Márgarét, áre you gríeving
Over Goldengrove unleaving?
Leáves like the things of man, you
With your fresh thoughts care for, can you?
Ah! ás the heart grows older
It will come to such sights colder
By and by, nor spare a sigh
Though worlds of wanwood leafmeal lie;
And yet you wíll weep and know why.
Now no matter, child, the name:
Sórrow’s spríngs áre the same.
Nor mouth had, no nor mind, expressed
What heart heard of, ghost guessed:
It ís the blight man was born for,
It is Margaret you mourn for.

Don't fret new life can be given a chance and if the stump is left on some trees it comes back

I kind of hope not because it is really fucking sweet and I don’t want it to be a Trojan for another loss joke.

Not that I don’t love a good loss. Love me some loss.
