You can choose love lost now or later. “it’s gonna hurt like hell, but you just have to rip it off like a Band-Aid.” We know, without anyone having to tell us, what it is going to feel like when you begin to let go of someone you love. And it may not seem like it at the time, but it's better to not prolong the process. The better part of our adult lives may be spent somewhere in between falling in love and getting over someone. Getting your heart broken, and breaking hearts - are both emotionally exhausting. The ripple effect from that can spill over into our daily lives and effect everything.
It's sad to see a friend who has gone through a breakup, you know as you hand over the tissues and give your best pep talk, that there is nothing you can say to take away the initial pain. In fact you know you wish you could manufacture the 'mythical pill' - the one that makes you forget - at least enough to believe in love again. Luckily we have short term memories...and while relationships ending can initially shape our optimism - or lack thereof, we eventually realize the possiblities of falling in love again. For the moment, though, you're stuck - because once you’ve been burned, you’re less likely to open your heart the same way, for a little while. So be good to yourself. Have lots of friend, retail and vino therapy!
Now you're stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it
And if the night runs over
And if the day won't last
And if your way should falter
A long this stony pass
It's just a moment
This time will pass
