It never ceases to amaze me how much words can mean. Even with no actions, simple words that are so meaningless on their own can be strung into one little sentence that means so much.
Humans are strange creatures. We can be so wary, cynical and sceptical of life in the hope to protect ourselves. But when we find ourselves besotted with love or excitement, it seems these precautionary measures are thrown out the door, almost inevitably leading us blindly into a cradle of hurt and disappointment.
While most of us are hesitant to place our hearts in the hands of others, we find ourselves, at one point or another, blindly taking the risk in a moment of faith. No matter how brief that moment may be, if only for an instant, the walls come down and we find ourselves falling undoubtedly into the unknown. All our love, trust and happiness at the mercy of another.
Love and excitement, serendipity and hope. With our hearts held firmly in the hands of another in a bond that we once thought unbreakable, we realise how quickly it can all be changed. Even the strongest bonds will turn to rust. Fragile from wear, they collapse, crushing with it our dreams, hopes and prayers.
Maybe humans are foolish. Perhaps naive. Or maybe we're just trusting and hopeful. While some may act like they're above, or perhaps below emotion, it is a feeling we all experience. Regardless of whether it be briefly or prolonged, a broken heart is something to which we can all relate.
Heartbreak is the bearer of a rare emotion. One the can rip you apart, numb you, strengthen you, anger you or sadden you as though nothing will ever feel the same. And for a reason unknown to me, once the wounds from the first have healed and scarred, graced us with insecurities almost irreversible.. we go back for more.
Once more we put everything on the line in the hope that this time, it might all go to plan.
