Love, in every sense of it, is the most beautiful thing you can ever have. It’s the greatest gift you can ever give. It is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. Or so they say…
I too have loved and lost. I loved him like the moon loves the tide. He came into my life and showed me the light. A light too bright to keep.
Showed me love. A love too wild, too vast, too deep. Took walks with me. Walks that filled my soul with peace.
Peace is what he brought. A warmth I hadn’t felt in a long time. His laughter, a melody where my heart belongs. But as bright as the sun as he was,
Some things shine then slip away. Not meant to be held, but meant to stay – As memories. A love once ours, now to let go.
So I teach my heart what it never knew – How to wake each day unlearning to love him.
Teach my heart how to hear his name and not turn my head.
Teach my heart to sleep on my side, while his side of the bed remains empty.
Teach my heart to rewrite the stories where we used to be, until my love for him is a whisper that is no longer in me.
It is better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all. Or so they say…
One day at a time
