A Letter to my deepest Heart

A letter to my deepest Heart.....

Thursday at 10:03pm

Dear Heart...


We’ve been through a lot, u and I. Almost 31 years of choices, experiences, wisdom, failure, and dreams...u’ve been beating every day, every second, and carrying my wishes throughout every beat. u’ve been strong, u’ve let me down, and u have hurt.... I’ve hurt u. I know I have... u’ve hurt me too. Neither of us is blameless...

I thought I knew everything about u the first time I fell in love. It was hard, this love thing. Hard work indeed. The fragility of human life resulted in ur first break, the promises that I made within u are not ever going to be fulfilled. You split that day. A part of u died and will always be gone, but that doesn’t make u any less. It just makes u real...

u showed me someone else though, heart. u gave me love in a way that I never expected to love in with complete abandonment. With joyful noise and implicit faith, I love with everything...

This past week, my heart, u and I realized something new. We learned that u can break still, that you can fall apart and I can fall apart with u. We learned that sometimes there is no room for pride, not when u understand the consequences of what cud happen, not when u see what there is to lose. We learned that there are measures u’re willing to go through for love, and that there are measures we’re both willing to go through in order to save what is so precious to us both. That when silly, light-headed romantic love fades what lies beneath is something infinitely more strong, more wonderful, and more real than u ever whispered to me in the dark when we were young...

This past week, my heart, we went out on a limb and we dropped all pretense and together we made it work. It was hard exercise but we are better for it. We’re both bruised. We’re all bruised. But life is decidedly different now, now that we have seen what could happen, now that we have seen what cud be. We’d both started taking things for granted. We’d both started to think that the two of us were invincible, when the truth is, we’re not. We’re strong, we can get through anything, but it doesn’t mean we don’t come through the other side that much more diminished, that much more raw...

Thank u, heart, for being something that guides me and is there for me, a constant companion through the pain and the joy, through the mistakes and successes.... Everything is beautiful and new when I have you in it...


Love,
DA
