I don’t know where you are right now, but I know that somehow we are still connected. There is an invisible thread that does not break, even though I had to hide the memories in every corner of the house and of my mind to keep from getting trapped in an endless loop. I had to do it to survive, to protect myself.
Only now have I realized that to express true love, you must have the greatest courage of all: the courage to give space, to let go. I am moving forward, one step at a time. I still hear the strong echo of what once was, but today I feel an even more powerful energy: the respect and love I owe to myself.
All this pain was worth it; it was the ground that allowed me to grow. Perhaps one day our paths will cross again, but not to pick up the pieces of the past. If it happens, it will be to look forward with the awareness and the light of two finally mature souls.
