Forgiveness

Sitting on the edge of a broken relationship reflecting on the occasional warmth of togetherness and plenty of sad, feelings of being let down jilted and miffed, I struggled to let go. Faintly saw an invisible force flickering inside, weakly trying to hold the corners of my inner self nudging me to forget the past and move on bravely for I had wished or done no harm ever to anyone, what to talk of near ones. Instead, it hinted me to be thankful to the revealing events that brought the naked truth to fore that showed in clear light falseness, pretentions of affection, friendship, love that required burdensome formalities to carry on a complex relationship reaching to nowhere. It nagged me to stop wasting my precious time, energy, thoughts and love hoping against hope that maybe things would be alright, soon and chasing the bygone memories which have pained and hurt and tended to make me feel weak. It also implored me to seek simple, firmer, newer relationship, where affection flowed freely and openly to and fro, without causing feeling of guilt to be confident of the goodness within oneself and see it blossom and flower bringing smiles and cheer in the lives of others and self. A recognition of self-respect took roots somewhere down inside and the faint ray of hope sprouted freshness in my heart and mind I madly clung on to the sane inner voice and shedding the fear of what others would think of me I walked back to life with a spring in my feet, forever. 06.01.2015
