That person was unique. In fact I dare say. No one else in the world perceived them in the way you did.
That “Shape” you long to see again. That you remember. Have tried to fill again in your life. It existed partially because of your perception of that person.
Unfortunately when they left. That altered you. It changed the way you perceive things. How could it not.
That energy that made you the person who perceived that person. That left with them. I believe when a person passes. This energy will some day be reunited after you pass with them.
I believe also that going forward you if are seeking someone in your life. That a new energy will determine your perception of that person.
That perception will tell you whether their “Shape” fits into your life.
The person was indeed unique, possibly because they were literally everything i had ever prayed for. And naturally I tried to fill thr void, but i have come to realise a few things: that i can never love anyone to my fullest ever again because a part of me if not all of me will always love this person. Secondly, i dont want to fill this shape with someone else, because it would be unfair to the new person.
So i will spend my days loving this person and hoping thr universe lets us find our way back to each other because something in me doubts that something so perfect could have existed only in a space where we have never met each other.
I am glad you liked the piece! Thank you so much!!
The particularities of the person who has left. Beautifully expressed. Holes remind us of the shape of the person we continue to love. What we do in response to them is the definitive. Not the hole. Truth.
I love this so much, and I couldn't agree more, trying to fill that hole up with people or activities or memories or whatever you can throw in there, is futile. I've found, that no matter what you try to put in that hole to "fill it", it will always be spat back at you with much greater impact.
Loving that hole as a part of yourself helps that hole eventually sprout flowers and bloom into something new, a garden of love, not because you loved someone else, but because you loved the hole as you loved the person that left it. And after a while, it's not really a hole anymore, atleast you stop seeing it that way :)
“Absence removes everything that is not essential.” That line stayed with me long after I finished reading. Perhaps love is never measured by how tightly we hold on, but by what quietly remains when every reason to continue has disappeared except love itself. Thank you for this deeply thoughtful essay.
