So I just stood there in the summer rain as it poured away.
And my mind kept drifting to the night before as I sat with your picture in my hand. To tear it away or to keep it for one more day? I know I asked myself the same question the night before. And the night before that and always ended up with it under my pillow as tears rolled down my face and sleep slowly came.
But tonight was different. I felt it in my bones. Tonight I had resolve. Tomorrow the picture will have to go. Tonight I will look at it for as long as my heart craved but it will have to go upon dawn.
So I looked.
I gazed.
I watched.
I raved.
I promised myself that I won’t cry but what could I do goodbyes are hard. So I let stream after stream flow away. Upon your picture they fell over and again. I let it soak in my pain.
So there I was, standing in the summer rain with your picture in my hand, soaked with my tears and now rain.. Without further a due I tore it away, into as many pieces as my hands could make. I let the pieces fall to the ground as they slowly drained along with rain and my heart achingly longed for one last look….
I turned my back.
And walked away.
Goodbyes are the hardest thing to do Zee.It is very difficult to walk away from someone or something that meant so much to you. But sometimes we have to do it to keep your peace.
I love what you have written.So beautiful and poignant.
This song is my new fav! β€

Heyyy Jess, How are you love?!! So glad to see you pop up in my notifications ! β€
And you are right, we gotta do what we gotta do. Sometimes Somethings in life are like tumor, they are like a part of you, rooting deep and parasitic. To remove it might mean to remove a part of yourself, but you have to understand it's necessity… you gotta let go of what's hurting you even if it is a part of yourself.
P. S I'm so glad you liked the song. There is this another by Ed Sheeran "One", you should check it out too, I'm sure you will like it π

Oh but goodbyes are real and sometimes a necessity, sometimes unwanted, sometimes inevitable.
And the song is Photograph by Ed Sheeran, it’s a really great song, Hope you will be able to listen to it now!
P.S These winters do not even feel like winters, still not in full force! π¦

This pulled on my heartstrings. I felt my heart thumping harder and louder. This is heartbreaking but written beautifully. When the song first came out I listened to it on repeat. I remember I’d always play it in the shower… So my tears would combine with the water flowing down. It’s a moving song… But your writing here puts the song to shame. I could read your mind and thoughts all day long. β€οΈβ€οΈ. My love to you always!! πβ¨ππ

What a heartfelt written piece, Zee. It is so sad to read, and I can relate π¦ But, on the bright side, at the end of letting go and walking away comes liberation. It is not easy to let go because that moment with something or someone might have been very special and it might have meant the world to us. Rain coming down, that often means sunshine is on its way π
Love this song. It also reminds me of the song Photo by Ryan Cabrera π Lots of love your way β€

when flesh of other caring

along with Serotonin trust..
the world becomes colder

and the search moves
