We'll wait for you.

I can guarantee you that there will be times in your life that will hurt your heart more than anything else. You may find that you want to go home in the middle of the day, despite the fact that you are working, just because you are on the verge of breaking down. You will discover that your cup of coffee has gotten cold beside your plate because you got lost in your thoughts. You are aware that this is your own method of temporarily evading the realities of the situation. Love songs tend to have a sour tone to them, so it's okay if you want to take a break from listening to them for a little while. It will take some time before you get back into the loop when it comes to romance, and that's okay. You will find that love movies are full of lies, and it will take some time before you can watch them again. You will come to recognize the stillness of the nights as a cue to reflect on those times, and later on, your tears will undoubtedly flow like a river, kissing your pillows as they do so, and it will shatter you all over again. You will question what went wrong and why you weren't good enough, and my darling, it will force you to pick up the pieces without anyone looking over your shoulder while you do so. You will begin to question whether or not you are truly capable of loving.

However, I can assure you that there will come a day when you will wake up to find that the aches and pains have already disappeared. There will come a beautiful afternoon when the notion of him will no longer disturb you, and everything will seem like it is supposed to be. You will wake up one night and realize that you are being too hard on yourself, and at that moment, you will make the decision to love yourself more. This night will come sooner or later. You will quickly discover that you are able to forgive those who have caused you a great deal of suffering. Your heart, which has been broken, will eventually heal completely and become even stronger than it was before. And just like you, you will become even more powerful as a result of the accumulation of all the experiences you've had and the wisdom you've gained from the past.

You are going to give in to this immediately. Perhaps you will put some distance between yourself and others and refuse to accept assistance of any kind. You are not going to say anything and are going to keep all of your sentiments to yourself instead. You may even find yourself laughing in spite of the pain. You will grin, but your eyes will have the saddest look in them. You will respond that you are fine, even when this is not the case. You are going to put on an act as though nothing is wrong. You are going to watch out for yourself. You will conceal yourself from other people.

And that is perfectly fine. Take your time. You don't need to say a word about it.

Those individuals who were there with you previously will continue to be present both now and until the day that you are able to stand up again.

We'll wait for you.
