Lost and Found

Everybody at some point in time has lost someone truly special in their lives. For the smiles that once graced their faces are now turned upside down in a manner of speaking. In a way, we can be lost in darkness and never find our way back to the light. The saying goes, that time heals all wounds, but some wounds may never heal. Superficial wounds can be easily treated and healed through time. Time is also a factor when wounds concerning one's own heart come into play. For each of us at one time or another has experienced this and in a way lost a piece of ourselves. As said before, when one is "wounded" in the heart, a person just needs time to heal and mourn that person's passing.

For our pain can turn to anger, our anger to bitterness, and our bitterness to utter contempt. In a way, one can feel that one could have done something differently then he or she would be still here. It can be a hard thing to let go of the past, a past when one looks back at it can be joyous and painful at the same time. In one's own mind, nothing can or ever will be the same again. The emotions that one shared with that person will always stay with you and can never be replaced. One often wonders what could have been, what should have been, or what might have been. It can play with a person's own mind to the point that thinking about will just make one sick.

Emotions can run rampant when someone's heart is on the line so to speak. But oftentimes the emotions one carries is held deep within and not shown outwardly. People sometimes just want to be left alone and deal with the reality that has happened by themselves. For a person can be somewhat of a great actor, in a manner of speaking, when a friend or family member asks if he or she is doing ok. For one can be completely happy on the outside but feeling lost and in pain on the inside. It can eat up a person from the inside out and the emotions that one has hidden can explode like an erupting volcano.

Eventually there comes a time when one must let go of the past and close the proverbial door behind you both emotionally and metaphorically. It's a tough and daunting task to move forward with one's life as one tends to protect themselves. Protecting themselves from being hurt when someone new and unexpected comes into their lives. Life is all about expecting the unexpected, the people we meet on our journey can help us without even knowing it. For the emotional ties that bind one to another will always stay with a person like scars from a battle and in a way, the possibility of someone knocking at the door of your heart will be heard.

In the end, one must simply put himself/herself out there and meet new people. For one day one will find happiness again and the scars that were left will eventually heal up. Though the memories will always stick with a person, it's the time spent talking with him or her will always cherish. In retrospect, what a person wants in a potential relationship is for that person to be there without him or her even asking. That's what makes love stronger, showing up when the time is right and being there for that person. Each of us wants to be truly happy in the end and live happily ever after so to speak. For as the saying goes, what was once lost can be found again. im or her even asking. That's what makes love stronger, showing up when the time is right and being there for that person.
