The Cure For Love
That first breath you take after one of those times when you feel as though nothing else
could ever matter is one that fills you full of life, and exhilaration. As if a new lease has been
taken out on your existence and you are free to fully understand all that is around you. The
simplistic beauty of nature, and the way things really are. Tall buildings, cars, television, the
toaster oven...these things have no bearing on what really matters.
In that one shining moment when I was alone with myself, I felt like it was just you and I. To
remember these things is like to remember the roads and streets painted on my face with
the tears of happiness, love, joy, sadness, regret, and all emotions in between. The only
moment we were alone, the only moment we existed together without anything but the
infinite. The only moment I was alone with myself to discover who I really was. One in the
same were these moments.
As if we spent every day in the dark until now, you and I, we were always the same...but I
guess I never realized it until now. I speak of, if it wasn't plain enough, of the 'Id'. He is me,
and I am him! I feel as though we truly never experience ourselves in the fullest extents
because we shroud our lives in negativity, worrying about how much money we will make, or
what someone else thinks.
A memory...this is all I have of the shell I once was. A shell that we all used to be! Some
who still exist within these parameters will someday wake with eyes unclothed to see all that
there is. Vibrant color, intoxicating smells, passion around every corner. I feel it, see it,
know it. I am all of these things as every single molecule that represents my structural
makeup is also the same ones that make up every living thing, every inanimate object,
every two hands held as one, and every heart that pumps the blood that keeps us alive.
So we are always searching, and searching, and searching for the things to make us happy
when they're always right in front us, within us if we just want to look hard enough. To fill
your life with positivity will be the greatest gift, and I hope you read this and feel as though I
am taking your hand in mine...and walking off into eternity...for the rest of all of our lives.
The only cure for love....is more love, let positivity set you free.
