Reflecting on what we hold close, even from afar
Sometimes, love feels like a journey through memories, dreams, and the ache of distance. It pulls us into a space where joy and loss intertwine, filling us with what was, and what could have been. This is a reflection on the beauty, complexity, and enduring power of connection, even when it feels just out of reach.
If only you could know how I feel about you, what I would do just to see you one more time in this strange life. I thought I had found everlasting happiness several years ago, but it seems that was not true. I’ve seen what life, with you close to me, could be. Then you went so far away, and that made everything so much more complicated. I’m sure I wouldn’t be satisfied, even if I saw all the greatest wonders of this world, unless I could enjoy them with you. I wish you could only imagine what you mean to me…
I walk down the street, but you are nowhere to be seen, and I keep asking myself what I should do, which way to go. Sometimes, I just want to see you in the middle of the night, and then I fall asleep and see you in my dreams. It feels good. So good that it seems impossible to be true. Although they are only dreams, my heart is flooded with all the love I possess.
When you lose someone close to you, you think you will never again find happiness, joy, or love in this world. A few years ago, I lost someone very dear to me. I was deeply saddened and felt a hollow emptiness in my heart. Then, one day, I met you. Suddenly, feelings I thought I had lost forever began to return. At first, I had no idea what to do with them or where to put them. Slowly, I learned to accept them and appreciate them for what they truly are.
Perhaps that’s the nature of love, to leave us searching for something just beyond our reach, even in dreams, memories, and moments of quiet reflection. Maybe one day, the answers will come, or perhaps they’ll remain as distant as ever.
But for now, all that remains is to wait, to wonder… and to continue.
To be continued…
