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".
