Have you ever tried sleeping with a broken heart? Yes, the Alicia keys. The still small voice you try and ignore certainly comes to life in the form of your partner who courageously tells you they don’t love you anymore. The shock paralyzes you from expressing any feeling. You stay still and for a moment you can be mistaken for a statue. Sleep is the only thing that can get you away from this harsh side of life to wonderland yet you can’t sleep even with closed eyes. You’re reduced to a zombie.
All the memories of the good times you had flood your head and for a moment you think you can rekindle what has never been ignited in your lover’s heart. You tell him how much you love him and write pieces that would make Shakespeare jealous of your talent from his grave yet to no avail. Your heart sinks deeper and deeper into sorrow and you wonder what you did wrong.
The reality finally dawns on you. The heart you once preserved has now been broken into pieces. You can now cry by yourself without hiding the salty water from dripping down your face. It’s no secret anymore; things will never be the same again. Now it’s time to tell your story.
Things come back to normalcy. You don’t get sad when you see happy couples because they no longer remind you of your failed relationship. You have adopted a new hobby that keeps you busy and singlehood really is the best thing that has happened to you. Time has healed all wounds and you’re at the best physical, emotional and social health. Love is a beautiful thing. It has very pleasant memories engraved in our heart and there is space for more of such memories.
