........
& it's life & it's steps & it's heart wrenching heart breaking heart achingly
BEAUTIFUL
These past few weeks I've grown and learnt and loved and been hurt and picked up and spun around and broken and wept and glowed and healed and held in him and told “just hush”.
In icecream fairy lanterns early summer spring rain salt tears radiance disappointment bible passages C.S Lewis new leaves seaglass Shakespeare & hugs.
When old pain becomes new beginnings. When old love becomes healing. When strength becomes revival.
[Becoming Bee.]
“and you bite your tongue and you clench your fists and you feel the tears forming and u keep walking without daring to turn around....
because its dark and raining and your future is beside you....you just let him walk by though you never get to see him.
and he means nothing to your future,
he kept walking in silence and you kept walking screaming inside how ITS ALL FOR THE BEST!!!! ITS MEANT TO BE LIKE THIS! ITS WORTH THE PAIN!!!
and you tell yourself it wasn't him and you wont even try and pretend it doesn't matter coz oh man does it matter to you!
but that's a step forward and an acknowledgement that things are better left unsaid because you're both still alive and time has passed between you that you
cant get back.
and you want to throw your arms around him and hug him and show him everything that you are in this darkness but that would do no good.
and you want to cry but you're not down and out by any means-just different.
and you just want to run until you collapse and its all a dream but its not.”
When he walked I thought that was it and our separate ways was the right way to go and stay.
But God gave us second chances.
& I missed our friendship. & we fought side by side & I'm so so very proud of all we've done & all we've become, together & apart.
So when you leave keep it in you. So when you take your path & I take mine remember the lessons & remember the good times & don't just let me go.
& she seems to think I don't love her like I love the others but babe. Jesska babe.
Without you these last few weeks would never had been worth the pain.
& that means the whole world to me that you were there always & forever. Jus like bestfriends should be.
I don't always agree with you but i've been there and know the feelings. & sweetheart I love watchin ya grow so don't stunt it k? haha
& things with sunshine are hard hard hard and hurt and tear and rip me up. & I came close so close to saying ENOUGH to saying I CAN NOT handle it any more!
Had my hand on the door and was ready just to [walk] out.
But you have your hand only my shoulder and a light in your eyes that should be a warning but just makes me want to hold you.
& It's my turn, always & forever. Cos I can handle it. And if my love is as real as I know then it will come around again when it's ready & so I'm not mad like I probably should be. & I hope desperately one day you will turn to me and say “I understand. I get why you fought tooth and nail I get why you held on. Cos it IS beyond real.”
The steps I have taken have left you behind me in the dust. & I feel confident and happy and brave and strong, but fragile and lonely and tentative. I'm walking with head held high BREATHLESS.
Because I don't want to be [stagnant] or [settled]
Because the world him and I dream up is real real real and we can make it ours.
& I'll walk with both arms outstretched, waiting for [them] and I know in time they will find their ways back to me and to the place I'm at.
But right now I can't wait for anybody. I'm on the move and I'm growing step after beautiful bitter-sweet step.
Finally I'm walking without support. Finally my baby steps are confident strides.
Towards a future of infinite possibility
