This has happened before.
This what you do to me. This what I let happen to me.
Because this is love, isn't it?
We can become so very important to each other. We to someone else. Someone else to us. So important that the other becomes the only one for us. The only one we want to keep forever.
There is nothing stronger or more beautiful than this. Not in our eyes, for whom love is everything.
That is why a chain forms between us. A chain to bind us together with love. That unites us with one common heart.
This chain we free beings choose to wear. If it only means that we get to be together with the one we love.
But what if one day the chain becomes very heavy to bear? When the other end of the chain becomes angry. When that other, who is so dear to us, chooses to hurt us.
Who cares? Mistakes happen.
For however, that other apologizes to us. Tells us they didn't mean it.
We know that. We know, because everyone makes mistakes. We may cry, discuss and make promises. That's why we say everything is okay.
What does this one time matter?
Who cares how many times we are hurt.
After all, our loved one apologizes to us. After all, there's this chain between us.
A sign that we love each other.
But even if we, blinded by love, can't see it, that love between us gets tarnished. Tarnished and rotten. Every time we are hurt. Because beyond our blindness, there is still this part of ourselves that loves ourselves. Part that knows that in this life, we deserve only the best. Not pain disguised as love.
The love between us is tarnished. Crumbling. Until, hopefully, it breaks.
It must break. Before it's too late.
But all this pain for nothing. If only we had known that the chain doesn’t have to get tarnished and rotten first. It doesn't, because the chain can be broken at any time we want. Any time. When we are no longer good for each other.
It may be the scariest thing we ever do. But the chain can be broken.
So don’t let déjà vu happen to you.
