Broken Heart...

"When you're dreaming with a broken heart,
Waking up is the hardest part...
When you're dreaming with a broken heart,
Giving up is the hardest part..."



This is one of the songs I recently heard over the radio and I found the lyrics of the song true. Giving up on a person you truly, purely love is the hardest part of being in love. It's hard because you have to forget that one true, genuine happiness in your life. When you sleep at night and see your heart breaking right before your eyes, it's either you wish it never happened or you'll never wake up again. It's hard to go through the day after, feeling so miserable. I heard stories, saw hearts broken and felt the pain. It was really hard. Harder than I thought it would be.
The primary reason I know why people have their hearts broken is because the person they offered their hearts to weren't able to love them back. It's difficult. It's painful. It's unexplainable. It's difficult because you have to go through each day trying to accept that everything ended. You're forced to erase the memories where you never felt happier. It's painful bearing the hurt and this feeling of having your heart badly wounded, looking like it won't be healed and normal again. Why is it unexplainable? I can never tell, but once you experience it, you'll know why. It's like everything that's occupying your heart seem hard too explain, too much to be put into words. For me, crying is the best refuge of a heart broken. Why? It's in crying that we can let our hearts out. It maybe stupid and for the weak, but I don't think so. It's for the strong and brave. Crying can make you feel at least a little better, even for a while. But you know what? All this hardness and pain inside can be swept away by just one smile, one greet, one touch of your love one. That's what makes being broken hearted the hardest. It is for the fact that just one gesture of your special someone can make you forget all the pain you felt in a heartbeat. Then, you suddenly have this hope in your heart that there is still a chance for a happy ending. But is there really a chance? Or are you just fooling yourself?


Moving on is the next hard step of a broken heart. One needs to heal completely to move on. Now, that's hard yet even though it is, the best thing to hope for is that you'll be able to do it. Swiftly if possible but I seems to be not. It takes a very long time to heal. Both seeing and not seeing the person you love makes it hard. When you see the person you love , it's always hard for you to look at the person. You feel this twist on your stomach, this grip on your chest. Not seeing the person may make it a little easier, but you can never be too sure. You may say "I've moved on." but by the time you see the person who tear your heart to pieces, you suddenly feel this sudden rush back of feelings. You feel hurt again. Can you still you've moved on? Or still hanging on?


Looking back, retrospecting those experiences I had, my friends', and those stories I heard of , I can tell that love is truly powerful. It can make a person very happy yet at the same time, it can hurt a person badly. If your one of those broken hearts, try to heal and bandage yourself. I read one of the quotes sent by one of my friends that said: " A heartbreak is always a blessing from God. It may be the very worst nightmare that leaves you crying in the middle of the night, but it's just his way of letting you know that he saved you from the WRONG ONE...". If your happy with the wrong person who was weak enough to let you go, imagine how more joy you could feel with someone who was strong enough to hold on? Yes, love hurts a lot and it can cause all the heartaches in the world but it's the feeling that can turn your world upside down.
