the only cure is time

i look back on the damage of heartbreak approximately 6 months after my downfall
i remember the casual effects
feeling as if life wouldn't be worth it, not being able to eat or sleep
being so chemically consumed by loss
6 months later I see you and i don't feel a thing
i take this into consideration now
ive learned that time is the only cure for these sort of conditions
it is not a simple cure
it is brutal and miserable
it is possibly the most difficult realization
but it is important
time will heal all; even if we think we will never be okay again, that we will never love again, and we will never feel happy again
i rest to assure that you will feel all of these things again
it is a never ending cycle of love and heartbreak
of picking yourself back up again
of learning how to feel again
but that is the beauty of time
that we survive hell only to face it again
