Love is a funny thing. It makes people do funny things or so I've been told. People fall in and out of love like water falls in and out of an overflowing bowl of water.
Lately I've been thinking a lot about past loves, I guess you could say, that I've had. And how I came out of it with only so much as a bruised heart. But they came out with a broken heart. How does one heal from such terrible cuts? How can we possibly survive so much pain? By loving again. Give your heart once again to someone who you love and they will love you in return. But first give yourself time. Time to heal, Time to mourn your loss and what could have been, Time to dream again, and most importantly Time to learn to love again. Then after enough time for you has passed, let it go. Let all your pain and suffering go and never forget, but never dwell on it again. Hope is always there for those who care to look. And then and only then, will you be able to love again.
I guess this could be said for all hurt, pain, and suffering we go through. It's ok to mourn our losses but it's not ok to hold onto that mourning forever. We learn and grow from pain. We adapt from failure and we fall down so that we can get up again. This is how we were made. It is natural and it is ok. Love is what makes forgiveness and renewal possible. Love is what makes things happen.
So yes, I guess love is a funny thing. It's something that makes people stop and think "Is this something I really want?"
This small snippet was inspired by past lovers of mine and I wrote as if I could tell them one last thing.
