Aftermath of falling in love

FALLING IN LOVE; THE AFTERMATH IF IT GOES WRONG
Falling in love is beautiful...

when you really are in love, you want to make time stop, you'll want to be in the arms of your lover forever because to you its where you belong you wish never for them to let go of you, you feel this big joy inside of you whenever you think of them they gat you smiling at your phone whenever their name pops Up,
you feel satisfied, fulfilled, content
like there was a vacuum inside of  you before they came into the picture and now it's filled, you are happy with yourself....
but when after all this.., a hitch happens

someone stopped caring, stopped doing the little things that matters-
someone that is definitely not you-
you tried reaching out for him/her, you tried making it all good but only to realise that they've gotten out of your reach that even your cries and pleas seems distant or out of their hearing range when they don't even see the silent tears on your face perhaps when they finally tell you" it's over" with language or attitude...
.......that light inside you instantly dies
you feel like you're in a dark place groping for way
you feel empty and give in to silent tears
your pillows even complains of being drenched
you want to feel that joy again, you try all you could.,
and maybe even later you reconcile with the fact that they've gone..
   Yes, you have accepted but that doesn't mean you don't still hope for them to come back.....
One thing you'll never be, is the same...
you want to be like you were before they came into the picture
you can never be again, and that's the sad truth because it's like you were living and contented with eating cereals
and someone came out of nowhere to give you honey
you savour and enjoy it, you tend to think you can't live without it
and after some time, the person left and stop giving you honey
Will you ever be contented going back to your cereals..?
Of course you won't!   that's a fact.
Then you began the search for honey
you begin to search for something to fill that vacuum that's in your heart you become sometimes so restless....
you are angry and at times you wish you could go back to being yourself!
....not that falling in love isn't good...but it needs utmost cautiousness. You won't die from the pain of the heartbreak- of course you won't!...because you're a survivor
you're gonna get through it.......
....and you'll fall in love again...
you wonder if you have wasted your time falling in love previously
but you haven't, because it has taught you a lesson
and given you the answer to the question you didn't ask.....
you are a better person because of it....
and either you are willing to accept or not, YOU ARE STRONGER!
And that!... makes it all worthwhile....
