Love lost

You will love again. Differently, but truly.

After heartbreak, it's hard to believe you'll ever feel that way again. And in one sense, you won't — not exactly.

The next love, if and when it comes, will be different. Wiser, maybe. Slower. Less naïve, but more grounded.

Fields that burn don't stay burned. Something new grows through the ash, and it's often stronger than what was there before.

Don't rush it. Don't close the door either. Your heart still knows how.
