Forget Fate, Trust Time

You can't make someone stop loving anybody, just like how you can't stop the feeling yourself. but try. at least, try.

To those who need to forget, try pushing the person out of your heart. Try starving the memory in your mind. Try erasing their trace in your life. Try being blind. To those who need to be forgotten, try ignoring the person's existence. try carving the bold line. try being mute and deaf. try being cruel to be kind.

Whichever you are, you can do so much as try. 

In the end, you don't own anybody's heart and nobody owns yours. The heart will turn, the only matter is when. Forget or not, love or loss. The Turner of Hearts will decide. You've fallen hard, so pray hard to heal the pain, to fly again. In the end, fly or fall, at least you can say "at least i tried."

but if you haven't tried hard enough, and if you don't really want to forget, then you have no right to say it's fate. if you are still trying and you haven't forgotten, keep being tough and just stay patient. one day, before you even know it, it will fade away. you have my word. i don't know for how long you will have to suffer, but after a while everything will disappear. you have His word. every soul was created with a mate, in this world each will find their way back to each other.

if it still doesn't disappear, if you still don't find a way back to another...

you have no option but wait. trust time.

time here, is not for you to wait for the person's heart to change, but for your own heart to turn. not for you to hope even more, but to forget the false hope of fate. you never know, even if your heart is set. you don't know if that person is for you, just like that person doesn't know if you are not for them. here, you both are equal, the wanderers in this world. we even have to pray for our heart to stay firm with our faith, then why do we expect the qalb - 'that which turn' - to stay the same with something as vague as the so called love?

Instead of letting the person go, let yourself free. Instead of seeing if they will come back, see if you will.

i know it's hard. i know it kills you inside. i know it breaks your heart. i know it hurts.
and now you must know that i speak as someone who has been through all this.

so now you know, you can trust me when i say it will all be okay.

i'm sorry i can't give you more, i can only give you my word.
but if my word isn't enough, you have His.

i did many things, but this i didn't do to you. 

forgive me for everything else, but not this.

please, loosen your grip on what makes your palm bleed.

you've got nothing to lose, you've got nothing to miss.

because some roses are more thorny.
and i am just me.
