Goodbye My Big Love.

[New moon. Fallen star. Broken dawn. Somewhere far.]

My heart is heavy.

It sags with regret. And seeps with “I should haves”… It breaks every time I drop it from the sky.

It was too high. Too far to fall from. It didn’t belong way up there, beyond my reach and fast past my dreams. Face to face with fantasy.

The air was too thin. The breeze was too cold. I was gasping. Heaving. Fear kidnapped my voice. My lungs filled with Insecurity. I couldn’t breathe…

I should’ve known better.

I should’ve known better than to try that love. That love was too wide. It was too much to wrap my words around. Too big to hold on to. It slipped from my hands and crashed at my feet.

Hidden, and hiding. Smashing into shaky ground. Blasting into unforgiving footprints. Leaving a hole. A crater. A canyon of empty echoes, a cavern of pretty pleas…

It’s so deep. So deafening. It speaks from its senses and screams for its sanity. It’s so f*cking loud, this Love.

It howls.

I dropped it… But it’s not lost. I hear it down there. Roaring. With fangs of simple sorry’s. And claws of honest madness. It’s ready to run, and chase, and hunt. And fight.

It won’t give up. Though battered, and broken. It knows its size. Feels its strength. It wants to live. Begs to survive… To withstand.

If I reach, it will scar me. If I stare, it will scare me. If I wait then we’ll wonder forever…. I have to set it free.

I need to let it go…

I’m not ready to hold it. I’m too small to wipe its tears. Too weak to feel its softness. It cuts me with gentle fingers.

I have to watch it leave. Pace by pace. Step by starvation. I have to look forward while it turns it’s back on me.

And say goodbye…

Goodbye my Big Love. I hope you remember my eyes. And forget my angry sentences. And keep this hope, this fairytale, this make-believe-belief alive in your mind, and awake in your soul.

Maybe we’ll meet again. Maybe we won’t. Either way…

Thank you.

    The reason I love this post is I know everyone can relate to it. Though this particular entry is about “love”, in life there are so many “powers” that come our way that are just too big for us. I think the ultimate truth for these encounters are determined by timing. Timing is everything. Unfortunately in many circumstances the timing is off, and therefore some of the “should haves” and “could haves” are always kicking us in the butt.

    Great post. Keep writing. Keep inspiring :)

    You amaze me everyday… In the small and big ways… the subtle and loud ways…

    This post is amazing! True jolt of emotion- vulnerable, open, honest, sad… Beautiful way of vocalizing the mental hurdles we all experience in being our true and best selves for our Big Love… That Love is worth trying and trying to be your best again and again…

    Keep writing and sharing… You’re amazing!

    This is beautiful. It is so real and so raw. I can feel the sadness and the hope pouring through the words. Thank you once again for sharing your incredible gift of writing and reason with us!

    I can definitely connect with this post. I’ve said my tear-filled goodbyes to Big Love with hopes that my unforgivable words would be forgotten. I’m weak, insecure, scared and small.

    I’m also strengthening, growing, evolving and becoming more open to life. The great and beautiful life lessons that God gives me through my own vast shortcomings leaves me feeling so truly humbled.

    >> I’m also on my way to becoming great! :-)

    We might have said our goodbyes to Big Love, but it never left our side for a moment.

    Maybe it just takes a lil practice, patience, time, timing, self-love and self-forgiveness. The fight for Big Love, in some ways, might bring us closer to it and make it even more beautiful than when we started. Maybe it’s the process where the true beauty is?

    Thanks so much again for another thought-provoking and inspiring post — what an incredible gift you have!

      Kulsum – thanks again for the kind words. I’ve learned your lesson above in more ways than one this year – “the road to greatness is lined with humility”… sometimes when we fail we relearn what our purpose is, and how to better BECOME it… thanks as always for reading and sharing. – Kash
