Grieving

How does one know if she is over a person? How can one tell if her broken heart has mended? The saying goes "everything grows with time, except grief". Have I really grieved the passing of Love? Have I really screamed and cried and accepted the fact that Love won't be around anymore? Or have I simply shoved the fact into a closed trunk at the back of my mind because I didn't want to deal with reality?

I admit, the pain of Love leaving has ceased somewhat, to a dull ache in a corner of my heart only summoned to the surface by the occasional song on the radio, a familiar place Love used to go, Love's favorite phrase being uttered by someone else.

Have I stopped harboring hopes that Love isn't entirely gone? Have I moved on and stop thinking of ways to rekindle the flame when Love comes back? IF Love comes back. I don't know.

Is there Life after Love? I don't know.

Isn't this the best part of breaking up?
To find someone else you can't get enough of.
Someone who wants to be with you too.
Wouldn't it be beautiful?
But
Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you?
Why can't I speak whenever I talk about you?
I don't know.
