There Are Times We Feel So Down That All We Want Is Love
It’s as if you’re craving something extremely unhealthy
On occasion, a wave of melancholy washes over you while you sit on your balcony beneath the moon’s gentle light. It’s an emotional weight so heavy it makes your eyes well up with tears. Your longing is not for any old love; it is for the love that once filled you to overflowing. An old flame that you’ve recently been communicating with, but which is now as far away as the moon.
A love that never truly fades away, but rather remains like a gentle, sorrowful lullaby in your heart.
As you sit there, the night gradually peeling away the layers of daily pretenses, you feel a stark emptiness echo through the chambers of your heart. Your heart yearns to reach out across the veil of time and space, to touch the face of that love, to feel its warmth once again.
But alas, all that remains is the cool, comforting glow of the moon, your silent companion through these nights of longing.
Your mind, a cauldron of memories, stirs with every gentle breeze that caresses your face. You remember the red carpet days, when love was a grand celebration, a carnival of shared dreams and whispered sweet nothings.
Then come memories of the void, the inexplicable distance that crept in, uninvited. The face of love that once shone brighter than the moon now hides behind clouds of oblivion. Yet, your heart calls out, its voice resonating through the silent night, hoping against hope.
This sadness has its own special beauty. It’s more than just a few silent tears or a slower pulse rate. The key is having the intestinal fortitude to stare emptiness in the face, sit with it, have a conversation with it, and listen to the heart’s quiet rumblings.
It’s about having the forbearance to accept the fact that you won’t get all of the answers you seek or experience all of the feelings you want in this life.
Your mind and emotions have a silent conversation on nights like this, trying to make sense of the tangled web of love and loss. They have in-depth discussions, sometimes arguing and sometimes soothing one another, but always looking for some kind of resolution to their problems.
It’s a trip that every beating heart must take at some point. I, too, recall a night spent alone, with only the moon for company. Only the odd rustle of leaves shattered the stillness, testifying to my whispered discussions with the past and the tears I fought back.
The moonlit night doesn’t promise a solution, nor does it dry your tears. But it offers you a space, a moment of solitude, where your heart can voice its deepest desires, its fears, its yearnings for love. Each tear that rolls down is a step towards healing, towards embracing the beauty of love, no matter how fleeting it might have been.
And as the sun rises on a new day, your spirits are lifted. Even though you were alone and the night was long, you discovered a part of yourself that still believes in the power of love and yearns for those moonlit moments.
