Healing

Healing is such a complicated journey as no human being is given the same hand of cards to play in the game of life.
 
I always thought that with time, the wounds from a perticular breakup, would hurt less and the blood would dissipate in a vague memory tucked in its own understanding of the traces it left behind.
 
I never came to terms with why that specific relationship, affected my soul in such a powerful manner. The colors were brighter with him and the melody euphonious. Aromas of life exhilirated my spirit, whenever he was around.
 
I don't think he truly understood the power it had over me...or over him for that matter.
I know he felt it too...
 
So as the cards were shuffled, mine were discarded...
I had to surrender and accept rejection, without any real closure.
 
I moved on, but time heals nothing. I feel the joy and the hurt shared, just as deeply now as if it transcended time.
 
Isn't this what we call true love?
I never could find anything close to it after that, I don't think I will, ever again.
But I am grateful to have crossed paths with that passionnate soul, as brief as our story was, for it made me the loving person I am today.
 
So wherever you are, know you were an important part of my journey and I will love you always...
