Lost

Everybody has lost something in their lives... may it be a prized possession, a pen, money, or even someone... a loved one, a friend. Losing something is never easy, there are times when we get over a loss easily, but most of the time is it not the other way around? Do we not cry when something special is lost or taken away, do we not feel hurt, do we not long for it back?

Trust... once it is lost, once it is broken, it is very hard to regain. Isn't trust one of the important things in this world? Relationships are based on this, this and so much more. And still, with this in mind, why do people still tend to break this important factor? Laying it aside as if it didn't matter.

It seems as if my emotions have turned its back on me and betrayed me. Is this what happens when you listen to what your mind tells you and shut off what the heart is trying to say? At that particular time, I thought it was the right thing to do... turn your back, walk away... and eventually forget what happened... forget the people involved... well, I woke up and found out that this task was not as easy as I predicted. Like losing something, one can not help but look for that thing that was lost. Pretending not to care is hard as well... putting up a wall, another facade... but deep down inside you can not help but care.

I have lost a lot of things in my life... friends, family members, other objects that I considered important, all these hurt me one way or another. Losing something is never easy. This loss is just as bad, if not worse.

Losing something... images of grief, sadness... images of a mother weeping as she sees her daughter going off to marry the man she loves, images of a child searching endlessly for his lost parents, images of a family grieving for the loss of a family member, and images of a young girl as she watched her lover walk away from her. Some may lead to a happy ending... a twist that will suddenly set all things right. That little boy may decide to take another step which will lead him to his parents, and that young lady may find herself in the arms of the person she truly loves... but somehow... in reality... these things never happen. In reality, a loss could be permanent. In reality, not all things are possible.

And she watched him turn his back and walk away... forgetting everything they've been through... and at that time, she knew that she had lost him... forever.
