When love is lost, do not bow your head in sadness; instead keep your head up high and gaze into heaven for that is where your broken heart has been sent to heal. ~Author Unknown
Where you used to be, there is a hole in the world, which I find myself constantly walking around in the daytime, and falling in at night. I miss you like hell. ~Edna St. Vincent Millay
Sometimes, what you want most takes the longest time to find it's way to your heart, and sometimes when you least expect it, love finds a way in thru a crack in the wall you build to shield your heart from any more hurt - most often, when you least expect it, but most welcome it.
Everything in its time, place and your life. We all have heartache, we all are knocked on on our asses from time to time. We need to remain open to those subtle nuances in life that show us there is reason for hope, reason to believe.
With each failed relationship, each lost love and loved ones, we start building up our walls of defensiveness so that hurt will not be allowed inside again, but in doing so we also block out the happiness that is trying to find it's way in.
Breaking down that wall is never safe, and it may be opening you up to a little more disappointment, but wouldn't it be a bigger loss if we build those walls of protection to ourselves and hearts so high that when love and opportunity present themselves we cannot see it, nor hear it?
I love the song "Unbreak My Heart" by Toni Braxton. That woman has some raspy, deep sultry sexy quality and the video in this link is hot, hot, hot.. but I want you to remember one thing.. for each time your heart breaks, if you don't build that protective wall too high or too tight, there will be someone that will come along and Unbreak Your Heart.. the hard part of this is be open enough to permit yourself to allow a crack so that happiness can find a way back...

| Sometimes the way to unbreak a heart is to break down the walls surrounding it |

As I read this blog I felt the tears welling up but I didn't let them come. Why? Because I know the feelings and the walls I put up. The dreams that have been lost. The disappointments in myself and someone else. Right now I can't give into the tears...........it hurts too much. ~*~
Thank you for the reminder to unbreak my heart

After a while, I took a different viewpoint.
A heart never breaks - it just hurts a while.
I no longer have a wall - I let love flow out freely, as love
is ALWAYS a one way emotion - it is an extreme
appreciation for someone else. Sometimes it is felt both ways.
True love gives the energy out and appreciates the other
without ANY insistence that the other feel or do anything back.
For me - it has become more pure - more radiant and is so much
better than struggling with someone that considers you a convenience.
Take Care and love often - love openly.

I have been hurt enough times now that I probably should live behind such a wall. But whenever I get behind the wall I keep peeking through the cracks and when I do I always seem to see some shapely beauty beguiling me to change sides. I don't believe I ever "fall in love" I just jump over the wall.
People say "take time, allow yourself to get over her". I did that after my first separation and divorce. Unfortunately (at least for me) the pain never heals until the ointment of new love is found. Then little by little as new memories are made, the old memories fall farther and farther from my heart and mind.
I believe the one who will unbreak my heart is not so very far away

I cried a million tears to that Toni Braxton song when I was picking up the pieces of a shattered heart. When I hear it now, I can still feel a pang; a tiny shard left from the break. Though the wound has healed over, the scar remains. Everyone who has lived a full life has some scars; this is natural.
Being open means being vulnerable - and it takes time to put yourself back together - but it's also a choice. One can choose to wallow in sorrow and bitterness, forever identifying with the pain, or one can choose to be open, to be vulnerable and to love again.
Choose happiness...

It takes much love and patience to let someone know that you will hold their heart with so much gentleness that they begin to feel safe....Its not always a easy task or journey but it sure is worth everything you put into it...for bith people involved.

How many times do we let someone in to unbreak our heart before it's permanently disabled?

I know very much where you are coming from there...I have had some rather tall walls of my own. I lived alone for too long in my life due to those walls. Lifting eyes to the heavens is definitely a good way to realize that broken hearts can heal...but when the repair job is done you have to accept that heart back in...or live with emptiness. Excellent blog!
