Like a book...

She wondered if he ever remembered the night they held each other desperately, making endless promises that were nearly impossible to keep and when she started to slip away, she always pushed so hard and she often wondered if he was trying to grab her but she was already too far gone to notice... She remembered him like she remembered her favorite parts of her books: engraved in her mind but impossible to hold.

I am accustomed to heartache, the grief, the defeat, the pain, the stress, and having to mask it in order to succeed. What I was not accustomed to, or ever thought I'd have to learn, is learning to love again after losing. Learning to trust, not to simply fill a void and create a short-term bond. Learning that I am worthy, even when I feel as if I am not. And learning that in order to love again? You need to understand that not everyone will understand.
