Splashing In Puddles of Sand

The flexibility of emotions

Love makes everything disappear. It forms a smile on your lips in a second. It warms your mind, your body, your soul. It touches you in places you've never felt before. It comforts, it protects, it strengthens, it brightens, it over-shadows any hurt, pain, unease, everything. Love, when you have it, is the only thing you need to survive.

Then it leaves. And when it leaves, oh how it leaves. Suddenly the world is dark and cold and lonely and evil and horrific. Smiles that once were formed so easily now take a toll on your face. On your heart. On your stomach. It hurts to remember, but it hurts to forget. You realize that in those places where you first felt love, you now feel pain, hurt, sick, disgust, anger, loneliness, pity, hatred. You start to think that maybe you would have been better off never knowing love in the first place. But some evil masochistic part of you continues to replay the memories, tries to remind you of the butterflies and the feelings. Then your brain throws in second-long flashes of memories, of moments shared, of their face, their smile, their laugh, your perfect moments. Your perfect memories. And as time goes on you start to realize that you cant hate love because, it's love...

...It's perfect. It's happiness. When you are in love you don't feel the hurt, the pain, the suffering, the cold of the world, because love brightens everything up. So when you don't have love, don't hate it. Just wait. Patiently. It will come back. Those deep places where you only feel pain, or worse, numb, they will once again feel love....some day.
