Dark Hole

A spectacular life is shared with a bunch of people. They are the people you look forward to hanging out with. They’re the ones you do crazy adventures with. They’re the ones you spend your nights with laughing your ass off. They’re the ones you end up chatting with at midnight when you’re close to tears. But there will always be that person who has made such exceptional impact in your life. There will always be that someone whose hug or pat in the back eases the pain you’re feeling inside. Probably, you’re thinking of a specific person already. Now, imagine that person gone. Gone are those planned adventures. Gone are those jokes you wish to tell her. Gone are those surprises you wanted to do for her. Gone are those solid times you’re hoping you had more of.

One of the most difficult things in life is to let go and move on. It’s just too damn difficult to get so unused to things you were once used to being with. It’s just too damn difficult to think about how things will go without that person you thought will never be gone. You never thought because you never wanted that person to leave for good. If you can just keep that person in a vault where he’d be safe, you’ll do. But life doesn't work that way. If you will, he’ll end up getting suffocated. He needs to be out there, we all needed to. But that need makes us vulnerable to any unwanted incidence which could end up everything. You wake up over a call or a crowd sobbing telling you they’re gone.You’ll probably think it’s just a bad joke but no it’s not. But that person is gone. That person has already served his purpose.

It’s just that no matter how hard we try to keep ourselves accompanied. It’s just different to have them around. No matter how hard we try to fill that hole with something or someone. It just won’t fit. Nothing and no one will ever fit that hole perfectly. Things will never be the same again. But that’s what memories are for. They are the things you hold on to when everything else fails. It’s because time makes a way for those memories to be frozen, to be recorded and to be replayed over and over again.

The person is gone but the memories you made together stays and some of which are being carried by that person forever because he’ll surely miss you too. Like Hazel Grace Lancaster in the novel which shed a Pacific Ocean of tears, The Fault in Our Stars, you’ll soon find the strength to continue living life. After some time, you realize you need not to get unused to things you used to do. You need not to forget about him. When he’s gone, that doesn’t mean you can say he didn’t live. He had once too and for once, he has chosen to live it with you. You will miss that person for having his dark hole implanted in your heart, by the memories you wish to keep and relive forever.

I’m a huge romcom cliché and will always be one. I’m sweet in words as much as I am in person. Favorite Quote: “We need never be hopeless, because we can never be irreparably broken. We think that we are invincible because we are.”
