Oh God, I feel so selfish in my pain
How do I feel great excitement on one hand and also feel great loss?
How does my mind and spirit untangle these emotions of healing and moving forward, which brings great joy, from the tears and heartache of saying goodbye to something that brought great joy?
How can I be exuberantly happy about love blooming and growing, because I am, and yet experience waves of sorrow washing over me from the loss of what was.
I feel selfish in my pain, as if my pain overrides the joy for the progress of moving forward. A moving forward that is soothing, beautiful, and needed.
I know in my mind that this is good, yet I long so greatly for the past which can never return. And would not want to return if given the option.
Oh God, give me the eyes to see the beauty of now. Give me the heart to embrace it with no reserves. Help me remember the joy of the past and not weep.
Take away the selfishness of my pain.
