WHAT LOVE COULD NOT HOLD......

[nandini00]

I miss you in the quiet moments,
when the tears fall unexpectedly, the grief washes over my soul, mourning what’s been taken from me. Like the tide bringing back faithfully what’s been washed away, thoughts of you return time again. My dream; the life I saw myself sharing with you.

Then In the stillness…. The illusion disturbingly shatters again. Edged by the pain…. was it just that… a dream?
A hopeless quest, led by my own foolish heart. To win what was never mine to be. For my love could never be enough, to mend what was underneath.

Not enough to heal what was so deeply wounded. I saw myself in you, a distant version that I recalled. I loved you deeply for who you were and for who you were not. Because I knew you. And I understood.

I stayed patient, continuing to give. Until…. I had nothing left of me.

Just an empty vessel, mirrored back into your face, your look of distaste staring back at me. This…. THIS version of me you didn’t want to see. Yet neither did I ever want to be her or ask to be.

Now all I can do is swallow what is left of my sadness, because my heart is not meant to house the memories of the man who burnt me into ashes. I would have given anything for you my love, all I wanted in return was to be Seen. Held. Kept safe. LOVED.

Now your arms no longer are my safe place. My devotion has no place to land and so my heart bleeds. Seeping…..from the core of me. A memory you will forever be.

I forgive you. I hope you heal.

It’s truly unfortunate that people who love deeply often end up choosing someone who isn’t worthy of their feelings. Meanwhile, there is always a genuinely good person right beside them—someone who can give them everything they seek in love. Yet, they overlook that person and fall for those who only pretend for a short time.

If we don't take for granted "the person who is genuine to us", this story we write might be filled with love and care and we are appreciating the person and thanking the universe to send that person in our life.

Some souls come into our lives not to stay, but to awaken parts of us we never knew existed. What you gave was pure, patient, and deeply human. Please don’t ever see your love as “not enough.” Sometimes, people are simply fighting wounds that love alone cannot heal.
You loved with your whole heart, and that is never a weakness. One day this pain will not burn, it will become proof of how deeply you were capable of loving and surviving. Stay strong… the same heart that broke will also heal and bloom again
