They say when you fall out of love, love goes away, and when you found a new one, love is being reborn.
But I say, it doesn’t go away. Love never fades nor leaves. Love never ceases to be Love when relationship ends. And when you found a new love, love isnt being reborn. Love in itself is there and has always been there. It is just in this time, love has taken a different shape, a different face, a different color, a different gesture.
In short, Love has taken a different form.
A new form brought by experiences, shaped by pain that was healed through time, and sharpened by learnings gathered from our down falls.
But there are times when you thought your love has already taken a new form, not because you found a new one, but because everything you used to have has ended.
You see, you are now miles apart.
Separated by timezones.
Sharing different sunsets and sunrise.
But then you realize...
Love still has the same form, the same eyes, the same hair, the same smile.
The same person.
The same person but more distant.
Very distant.
And pain, joy, laughter, growth, and again pain bridges the gap.
But Love out grows pain.
And you choose to love.
I choose to love.
I choose the love that hasnt changed its form, even if it is as distant as how I stare at sunsets and sunrise.
I choose love from a distance.
And I guess I will continue to love from here, from afar
“It was all I wanted for the longest time- to open my eyes and see you there. To stretch out my hand and touch the soft, yielding warmth of your skin. But now I have learned the secret of distance. Now I know being close to you was never about the proximity.” -Lang Leav
