There is a parody in the way love ignites different emotions. When it strikes
the heart of anybody, there is no power to resist it and nothing but to accede
to it. There is this beauty of the way it robs one’s will to see flaws and
differences but just positive physiognomies of a person. There is this splendor of just simply yielding to what it offers
irrespective of the surrounding circumstances or the bleakness of the future.
There is this sweet taste of abandoning any rationality just humbly acquiescing
to that incomprehensible feeling of LOVE. Falling in love after all, is like
being mystified in dreams of something not within the grasp of what real life
could offer.
Love is a beautiful feeling for a reason. It is beautiful
because it is something deeply and inexplicably shared by two people. But, its
beauty has no ability to fight off weariness when finally ugly reality is
slowly unfolded unto thy eyes. What you thought of something so seamlessly tied
in perfection is not what it seems to be. You wake up from a dream realizing
that you were in trance of something that only you believed and was never
reciprocated by the one you trusted. That is the time, love wounds.
The pain inflicted may be blinding at its intensity. Then,
you realize that it becomes more excruciating knowing that the love wore off
but not the pain of the wounds inflicted. There is this sense of betrayal upon
knowing that you have been led into something that would never be. There is
this taste of bitterness discovering that the kind of love given was never the
one you have given. There is this anger knowing that time has been stolen from
you and never in your entire life could it be taken back again. The wounds are
aggravated knowing that you have no other way out but to wake up from what you
thought was such a beautiful dream but all along, it was a nightmare. The
scenes are in wide array but the good ones were nothing but facades.
Conversely, just as love wounds, love also heals. When you
think that there is no hope anymore, that there is no more future to look
forward to, that there is no way to live life with positivity, you are given
the seed of hope. Just as how every seed starts infinitesimal then grows into
something big, the hope glimmers at first then radiates at its magnitude. Just
as love wounds, love heals.
Then, realization dawns on you that there is really that
BEAUTY in love. The parody is driven away with its purity since you know it is
finally given to the right person. Slowly, there is this important lesson being
imparted that the pain, the bitterness, and the sense of betrayal perpetrated
in you could be healed by love alone also.
As light is shed upon you of the real meaning of love, you
realize that it is very important with whom you entrust that fragile heart upon
falling in love. You realize that when love is true, it vanishes the cobwebs of
pains and other negativities brought by the deceit of the past. You are
propelled into emergence of understanding that love is more beautiful when it
withers away the wounds of the past. Most importantly, you realize that love is
more beautiful when there are no fears and only hopes.
Then you start hoping again. You know that everything is in
good hands. When the seed of love is from the right person, there is not just
love but it is wrap as well with hope, with fidelity, with trust, with unspoken
feeling of conviction and commitment deeply implanted with honesty and
rectitude.
Then you understand, yes, just as love wounds, love also
heals. Just as love ruins every dream and hope, love builds again. There is no
consternation but only faith. Just as the love of the past destroyed you, love
of the present and the future will create a new you. After all, there are no
wounds that can’t be healed by the right person giving you another chance of
LOVE. The first doesn’t mean always the last. Sometimes, the first serves as
the lesson so the next could give you a brighter future. And yes, the dream
continues…
(To my husband, thank you for the healing. I owe you my life.
Just as I trust you with my future, I trust you also my life. )
