GOODBYE’s -THE ART OF LETTING GO!!!
Just as those first droplets of rain wash off the calefaction, the burning heat and gives the burnt flower or plant a ray of hope to grow back again and into something more beautiful, and just as everything rejoices back after that scorching summer season.
The clouds rumbling and roaring in happiness dropping those crystal clear droplets onto us as a way of expressing their happiness. The tress swaying “left-right’, “left-right” in motion and that newly formed family of “mogra”.
Well, he was that relief after a scorching beam of sunlight, the roof over my head, the comfort in my chaos, the rainy season after my summer, the hand I could hold on in those crowded streets and feel safe when wrapped around in his arms I could feel at home.
He was the boy that every girl dreamt of, his deep chocolate brown eyes looked at you like a puppy, that smile which hid some untold stories. Yes, he was the perfect guy I could ever get for myself.
But doesn’t everything seem perfect, even those two roses seem perfect until their thorns scrape off your skin.
Well, everything was perfect those candlelight dinner’s, the long drives, the way you expressed your love for me in that poetry of yours, where you made me sound like the queen that I never was.
But even the beauty and the perfectness of that rose withers away once it has lost its smell, it’s the charm. The things which defined its beauty.
GOODBYE’S ARE HARD!!!!!
And my arms still reach out for your warmth in this cold weather, I have discarded the shorts I used to wear because you are there no more to tell me that even with that body it looks good on me. The bunch of roses you gave me with a tulip in the middle just because you thought I was someone very special to you, still sits on my desk although withered I still water it anyway in the hope that it will bloom again and that you will come back again.
I have started to fear the dark, dreamy nights because they remind me of you, the betrayal you gave me. I still wonder if those poems you wrote me were actually true or mere publicity stunt, but then why do writers or Shayars express their love through poetry.
You know it seems as if I have completely lost myself in loving you because even in the crowded streets I feel left out, alone.
I look at your photos with your new girlfriend and ask myself what was my mistake that you left me for her, wasn’t I the tulip in the garden of your roses or wasn’t I the star to you dark night sky, because you loved the stars so much.
AND THE SUN ROSE OVER AGAIN!!
As the winters kissed goodbye on my cheeks and the sun shined over the hardness of the winter and washed the tress off the cold mess, I too woke up with a smile on my face, more energized than ever, published my first blog received a lot of praise and in peace did I sip onto that cup of coffee after 6 months of my break-up.
Yes dealing with hasn’t been a cake-walk for me but letting go of the emotions, thoughts, feelings and of him and his memories were the best thing I could do.
You know when you love something so dearly it is hard, really hard to let go of them but I learnt to let go of them when I saw those leaves being abandoned by the tree.
You know autumn is one season where the trees shed out their leaves so that they could get the moist air, freshness and finally be seen as an individual personality, although those leaves that protect the tree from any kind of harm and enrich its beauty, it’s still shed by that tree but with that more new leaves, even more, greener and more beautiful flowers are grown back onto it.
I know letting go is not easy, but trust me that’s the best decision you can ever make.
Letting go of anything be it something that roubles you, some event, a breakup or for that matter is not easy I know it takes time to finally accept the things the way they are.
LET GO OF TAKING THINGS PERSONALLY….
LET GO OF WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK…
You know saying is a lot easier than being able to do it but let me tell you a story here a short simple one:
If those leaves weren’t shed off from the tree they would never have understood what it’s like to not be appreciated for once, if you hadn’t let go of your favourite coffee for that child you would never have known what happiness truly feels like, if you hadn’t let go of the makeup that you were supposed to do for your best friend’s wedding you might have probably missed their special moment of “I DO”
You know letting go of things make you happy contended, let go of whatever is troubling you instead dive yourself into that favourite ice cream flavour and let go of everything.
Just as you had to let go of your “mummy ka pallu” to learn what’s it’s like to be grown up the same you have to do now you have to let go off that pallu and be the most shining star of your sky, the firefly of your dark nights.
