the summer of broken hearts
Posted by Kimberley Chan on Friday, July 10, 2009
i suppose being updated by facebook isn't the best way to find out if friends are doing okay. it pains me to see so many broken hearts...me being one. and i know there isn't anything i can say...no words of wisdom, no words of comfort...just the reassurance that you'll get over it. you will. and no matter how weak you feel..how badly you just want to crumble and just die, you will get through it. we are not the first to get our hearts broken, and we won't be the last. he won't be the last.
i know how you feel. he once was the person i went on msn for, the one person i woke up to, the first person i called about news. and to have that all taken away in seconds...that's life. it takes a second for someone to die, a second for someone to be born, and mere seconds that change your life. i know your pain. i know you're in pain. and i know you've been lying in your bed waiting for a phone call, waiting for him. i know you're spending countless hours thinking and rethinking how this could have been, how it happened, and what you could have done. it's all too familiar. but just know this, it was never how it happened, it was never what it was, and it's never what you could have done, it is what happened.
i know how you feel. no interest in food, no interest in sleep, the only thing you're interested in is the solution to this pain. how you wish the time would go faster so that you can see how right your friends are...that things will get better. imagine if we could just skip to the good parts in life and leave out the rest. i hated sleeping...no matter how well your day went, when it came down to it, at night, you start to think..letting your mind wander.
i know how you feel...having so many plans with this one person. looking forward to every day you could spend with him. going to the zoo, going to the beach, all these wonderful plans..planned for the near future, and is now ..well impossible.
all these emotions...all too familiar. your heart literally hurts...and every breath you take is taken with hesitation.
with all that said, just believe me when i say that it will get better.
when that time comes, i'll be here..blasting "i will survive", lyrics so true and so comforting. i'll be there with a box where you can put all those memories aside and make new room for new ones.
