We Will Fall In Love Again

For now, let us allow ourselves to weep. 
It is okay to deprive ourselves of sleep, 
Let's drown all our sorrows all night long
In bottles of wine and sad songs. 
Let us not force ourselves to accept
All the pain and 'what-ifs' without regret
Let's bestow our hearts ample time to heal
To finally be free from captivity of this inevitable feel. 
Compel your whole being to savor every shatter
Do not forbid your mind to wager
On hoping for impossible outcomes-- on risking--
Feel all the discrete resentment of losing. 
Find some ways to overcome it. 
Look for a serene place, loosen up a bit
So that someday when we are both ready
We will surely fall in love again, my dear, 
But not anymore with each other. 
And I hope this is not the end
And maybe-- just maybe-- we can still be friends.

Definitely. It is okay to feel the pain but let us not let ourselves be consumed by it.

What a wonderful way to feel about a friend who may become "the one".
