There is heartbreak. Going from taken to single changing your relationship status on Facebook and feeling a part of your identity lost to the endless cyber sea of pictures of the two of you of texts full of flirting, losing him and trying to pick up the pieces and not lose you too. It's the days where you wonder how not being in love might feel, the days were you crave to be free of the imprisonment that is your feelings. It's the days that don't seem like days without him. Just hours, meaningless. This is heartbreak. And then their is it's shadow. The silent heartbreak everyone meets and no one knows. The faceless heartbreak. Some call it unrequited love but it's too generous a term. Love makes it sound romantic but nothing is less romantic. It is met when you offer someone your world and they look at you as if you are offering them a piece of dust. You are a piece of dust, insignificant, easy to ignore, you are grey in a world full of colours. Maybe he is just blind to the effervescent rainbow you exude. You forgive him you provide him with glasses hoping he will see clearly that you are so full of love for him that you could be such an excellent accompaniment to the orchestra that is his life. You two could make music worth listening to, you could lead a life full of dancing. You could, you could, you won't. He can't see you. Or maybe he can and he just chooses not to. His lack of ability to see your complexity makes you question yourself. It makes you doubt your worth. Please never doubt your worth. He will never define you, his disapproval will only chain you down if you want it to. So be free, fly, stop chasing him, start chasing the light. And never forget how beautiful you are, period.
