If you could have delayed your departure just a little longer, I might have told you how grateful I was for your arrival. I wanted you to stay — to break the norm that nothing lasts forever. I wanted to share every beautiful thing with you. Your departure still haunts me. How easily you left — at the speed of light, and now you are light years away. The silence you left behind lingers. I live with it every day. Sometimes I want to give it a voice, to scream it out — but it feels useless now. I can’t stop my heart from aching. I can’t stop missing you. You keep coming to my mind like an urge to scream. We pray for departed souls to find peace in a world we cannot comprehend, while there is no peace for those of us left behind — those who faced the disappearance of someone they loved, without even blinking and fainting. Dear, I am running here and there to find peace.
I guess! Acceptance eases everything, though it never ceases our emotions. Emotional reactions are natural. Sometimes, not being okay feels like a disaster — but maybe that’s nature’s way of balancing things. Maybe it’s the heart’s way, too.
Another Sunday ends, and while the world celebrates arrivals and togetherness, I sit with the weight of departures.

Sometimes not being okay feels like a Disaster or is it the other way round? That we deal with disasters and just say we are not okay!
