Dear life,

I've spent years trying to figure you out, and when I think I’m getting there
You just bring me back from the start...
Life..What have you in storage for me?...more break ups and pain? happiness?..Do you hear me?...I can’t just stand here in the rain...
I've tried...so hard to live up to your expectations..but when is it good enough?,,,what have I done wrong?..please tell me...how much longer?...
You never played it easy..and I was never too much into the game...but do I have to go through this?...when is it enough?....you made me lose myself in the arms of someone soon to be taken away from me...and based on the past, you made me forget the future....why did you bring me him?...why did you set up everything so perfectly..and made me fall so hard?..if you knew it wouldn’t last enough to fulfill the needs of my heart?....and now...what are you planning this time?....bringing me someone new...making me fall harder and harser so soon.....is it all a test?...please tell me...cuz I can't take another crash....I’ve been smiling for way too long..what r u planning this time?...just whatever you do..please don’t take me away from his side..nothing I've ever asked had more meaning than this....let me start something new....let me just sit with him and watch the moon..not worrying that your gonna have a surprise and everything will again turn dark...let me just be...and I’ll handle the consequences for being free...but please..just let me be....

Very good story.  I enjoyed it very much.  It speeks of the true parts of life that not many people like to see.. or think about.  Loss touches us all at one point or another.  But we also have the strength to overcome it whether or know it inside.  Great story

that we recognize our oneness,

knows also that it is the sea."Daniel

Losing someone is indeed painful... A harsh experience, but one most of us have to endure.  We are strong enough to get through it.  Hold onto that strength.

Only if we let it be enough will it ever really be. If I could spent just a small fragment of time beside the one that truely loves me, that would be enough to last me the rest of eternity. You are never alone when someone lives inside your heart.

Sounds like an echo from my past, but these days I find my strength in what I do have, the love I've known and try to take life as it comes. There's beauty in every day.
