Heavy in our hearts lay the things that hurt us most. I strongly believe that humanity’s biggest failure is to send a message of absolute unconditional love to those they really care for. Is it our lack of outreach that stands in the way? Or is it our own failure to believe in the message that has on several occasions been sent to us? You didn’t know that even through silence my love was screaming at your doorstep, slipped in through the keyholes and cracks of your home to where I had mistakenly believed you knew it lingered. I have failed as a person, as a friend, because you don’t know it unless you hear it, unless I scream with all the air in my lungs. It was not enough for me to whisper it into the night sky where I entrusted the light of a star to shower you with all my love as you lay in slumber. My dear friend, I was never not there, I was simply not holding your hand for which I am a thousand times sorry, for it had not occurred to me that you would not know it is there for you to take whenever you so choose to – for whatever reason – big or small. ee cummings said it best when he wrote, “be of love, a little, more careful than of anything else. With that being said, let us not be so careful as to be blind to the love that truly exists. And with my own deepest regrets, let us not fail in our mission to let those we care about know that our presence is not necessary (in flesh or in song) for our love to exist around them – always.
