How I wish I could make it better.
Make it change.
Make it different.
I wish even more that I could heal.
But sometimes…
Sometimes all it takes is knowing you aren’t alone.
I have been there.
I know.
And how I wish I had once had someone to tell me:
******
I know your heart aches and you feel as though you can’t catch your breath.
The pain is too much!
I know you want to run back, hang on, be different, do different….
How can this be right?
Or even fair.
My sweet aching girl…
I know the pain,
The regret,
The wondering why…
If….
And if onlys….
The truth is:
There are no words.
There is no cure.
How I wish I could make sense of this.
Of my own even.
But for some things….
For some things there are just no explanations.
I have learned the hard way.
You hold onto the memories…
It’s isn’t right.
It isn’t wrong.
It is just something that simply still exists.
And it is real. So personally real.
Just remember:
To feel the pain. It heals you.
To share the truth. It heals others.
And I will promise
that time is your friend.
Grip her hand and she will lead you on.
Then one day,
Way way down the road…
You will find your smile.
Authentic and true, and yours forever to keep.
That ache you have…I know, I know
It may always be there.
How I wish I knew why.
But rather than allow it to hold you,
Paralyze you,
Keep you….
You have to…
Remember that smile.
It shows that you’re better than.
That you can overcome.
That you are stronger than.
You are stronger than.
And never my sweet girl,
Never,
Ever,
Allow any pain,
Any ache,
To ever take that from you.
Shhhhh…..I know, I know.
I’ve been there.
You are so not alone.
🙂 gorgeous
