March 21, 2007Why do beginnings have an end? Why do
we have to meet only to lose in the
end?
These are questions left unanswered,
word left unsaid, songs left unsung,
love left unexpressed, promises left
unfulfilled…
In a relationship, one of the hardest
things to do is saying goodbye and
letting go.
It's as hard as breaking a crystal
because you’ll never know when you’ll
be able to pick up the pieces again.
More often than not, they who go feel
not the pain of parting; it is they
who stay behind that suffer, because
they are left with memories of love
that was meant to be a love that was.
At the beginning and at the end of a
relationship, we are embarrassed to
find ourselves alone. Unfair as it may
seem, but that’s the drama, the
bittersweet and the risk of falling in
love. After all nothing is constant
but change. Everything will eventually
come to its end without us knowing
when, without us even knowing why… and
we must forget not because we want to
but because we have to.
In letting go, sorrows come not as
single spy but in battalion. It seems
that everywhere you go, everything you
do, every song you hear, every turn of
your head, every move of your body,
every beat of your heart, every blink
of your eye and every breath you take
always remind you of him. It’s like a
stab of a knife, a torture in the
night. Funny how the your whole world
becomes depopulated when only one
person is missing.
I don’t know if it’s worth calling an
art, but letting go entails special
skills sparkle with a considerable
space and time. Time heals all wounds
but it takes push on our part.
Acceptance plays part. Not all wishes
come true. Not all love stories end
with “happily ever after.”
We hate to suffer if it would mean
happiness to others. We have to cry to
temporarily let go of the pain. Every
beginning has its end like every dawn
has its dusk. It’s something we can’t
control something we have to live up
with.
It’s over he’s gone. But life has to
go on. Goodbye doesn’t always mean
forever.
There will always be a place and time
where questions will be answered,
words will be spoken, songs will be
sung in harmony, love will be
expressed in solitude and promises
will be fulfilled. Somewhere, somehow,
someday…
