Think back to the first time you met. The butterflies in your stomach making you think ‘this is the one’. Think about how great the first date was. How the unforgettable first kiss left you longing for another. Think of how you grew to know one another better than anyone else. You cried together and laughed together. You became one another’s best friend.
Now fast forward …
It’s like one morning you wake up and everything has changed. The passion you once felt for one another seems to be gone. You do not laugh together and confide in one another like you used to. You find yourself wanting to spend more time away from one another than together. It’s like an inevitable wall has been driven between you.
And then comes the break up. The heart wrenching breakup. You lay in bed crying tears wondering what you did wrong, thinking of everything you could have done differently. You begin to blame yourself. But darling, it’s not your fault.
You see that’s the thing with time. Time alters things. What once was seems to disappear. It’s as if those happy moments never even happened. That there was no love to ever have existed. But don’t think that way. Because those moments did happen, and those feelings were there. Time just altered them.
Time can be your best friend and your worst enemy all at once. Time can make you the happiest girl alive, but also wishing you could erase your memory. But the great thing about time is, that as bad as it can be, sometimes it helps you out. Sometimes time gives you the ability to realize just how important someone is too you and just how much you need them in your life. It re-sparks that burnt out fire and this time leaving it stronger than ever.
Yes, I know what you’re thinking. That is not always true. But in those cases, time allows you to heal your broken heart and eventually give it away again. And one day, you’re going to give it to that special guy that God made just for you and the cycle will end. And finally, time will always be on your side.
So, next time you are left wide awake at night wondering what is going to be, don’t. Shut your eyes and rest. Because you see, time is on your side. Whether you receive that love one back, or gain a new one that is even more perfect for you, time is going to piece the puzzle together for you. So sweet girl, let it do its job and stop worrying so much about the future. Time has got ya covered.
