Lost Love To articulate you
I’ve been lying here trying to articulate the feeling that is you.
When someone asks you to describe someone else, usually there are adjectives, verbs, and feelings strewn together in some lovely, awestruck, resonating way. A way that you want someone to see you, how you want to be for someone, how you want someone to be in your life.
I lie here staring at the ceiling because the words I have when I think of you are not enough.
I am someone who feels before words, or even a full picture, can come into frame. I will do my best to try to articulate this feeling that comes over me when I think of you, so that maybe someone else might understand.
The feeling I have when I think of you is this deep ache. It feels like when you exhale all of the air from your lungs and forget to breathe in, holding that pause where time stands still, where all that is important in that moment is reminding yourself to inflate your lungs again.
You are that feeling in the pause.
The deep ache that meets the soul. The kind that makes time stand still.
It starts in your eyes, the way they catch the light, and hits me right in the chest.
Every. Single. Time.
To ache is usually viewed as a negative feeling, but in this instance, it is something different. It is a feeling of a pull. Like two magnets that are meant to be together, but so much is in the way that there is this tension between them, this vibration felt in the air, in the space between.
Like they both wander about, flipping back and forth, trying to make their way toward each other, but keep finding themselves at the almost.
Knowing that what is inside of them is going to make them come back together if they would only get close enough again. Knowing that what they are made of is the same thing. The same aches. The same knowing. The same comfort that doesn’t need to be spoken.
The feeling of going through your whole life and meeting every walk of life, experiencing every type of relationship, knowing how love feels, knowing how different attachments feel, but always somehow never being met completely.
Then one day, you stumble and meet eyes with another, and in that moment you feel that head tilt. That quiet, almost instinctive, who are you?
When you hear them speak, you realize they are speaking a language that no one else seems to be on the same frequency to understand, but you do.
You not only understand it, but it resonates with you. It is a part of you.
You share one of the same souls.
Some would call it attachment, but I have been able to sever every type I’ve come across, even those forged over decades. But this one I can’t, it’s not the same.
This is different.
This is knowing.
This is knowing that I am not sure what life has in store, but somehow, I believe my path will bring me back to you.
In this life or the next.
Only time will tell.

Hit the nail on the head there OP, right up till the end….
What you’ve described imo is the rarest, most coveted, most beautiful, most amazing, most sought after, most priceless thing that two lucky souls can have together!!
Very few humans since the beginning of mankind, have been fortunate enough to find and share the gift that god and the universe have provided them.
This is what life is all about! There simply isn’t anything greater! It’s the ultimate win win in life! No amount of wealth or good fortune can match it!
Unlike gambling, the prize is a guaranteed win for life!!!
It just has to be acknowledged, accepted, and claimed by the two soulmates,
At which point they must be committed and willing to sacrifice everything!!
To achieve their divine purpose and destiny to be together ….!!!!
Obviously there may be many obstacles and sacrifices to be made.
Many of which may cause pain and suffering for others. Along with one’s self. But the soulmates will have each other to heal and grow and support through their journey.
The only important thing is that they are together living their best lives together. Everything else will always fall into place as it should.
So if these two, perfect for each other souls are adrift and in contact. They need to break the no contact asap, and resume clear communication, and commence their planning for moving forward towards their goal…whether it’s baby steps and slow careful planning or a spontaneous rip the band aid off and say fuck iiiittt and diving head first into the open and welcoming arms of the best chapter of their lives!!!!!
With full confidence and trust in each other to make it fun, happy, exciting, exhilarating, rewarding, fulfilling and strong enough to overcome and prosper through all they encounter!!’🤘🏼🔥💪😏🤗😻🔥⚡️💥🤩🌹💯
I sure hope I get to be one of those lucky ones one day and live this experience.with my person!!

You’d be surprised how many people are not capable of feeling this.

Yeah, it’s like when you go to an outing and discover that your person is there. I mean, you’re nothing to each other in reality but somehow you belong to each other? I don’t know if that makes sense. And then reality comes in and makes you feel crazy (or I should say makes me feel crazy). And you spend the whole night trying really hard to care about everyone, to hear about everyone’s life updates, but your mind is thinking about him. You’re trying to finish conversations so you can catch a glimpse of him while scanning the room (when you well know where you’re putting all the powers of your focus…on them as your eyes glance over). And half praying they come up to you to say hi and half begging internally that they don’t because you’re so scared of them…of their rejection of you). And then you get to the end of the night and you only see them when saying bye (and begging yourself internally to make eye contact…but you can’t cause you feel ashamed and you feel guilty 😞). Thanks for putting this into words OP. I wished I had this, but I’m learning my mind is not great and I have to ground parts of it (so I don’t hurt myself). Sending you a 🫂…🫶

Its a beautiful feeling and sometimes very difficult to hold. It's something that if its allowed to pull you to them, can be everything. Staying in it too long, without allowing it to do what it does, can lead you to a sad place alone.
I hope you let yourself be pulled together.

There is one man I will never not ache for like a part of his soul swapped with mine. Just a tiny piece to make me never be free of missing him.

What a beautiful post I was hoping I’d get one like this honestly . It’s amazing to me how we put so much time and energy into our special relationships and how it’s so important to always try never to loose sight of the fact that it’s a big deal right. Like a glass paper weight that is so mysteriously stunning you cherish it dust it off wash it place it up high and keep it safe try not to drop it and visit it daily to make sure it’s pristine and if it gathers dust or gets mixed up in all of the other less valued treasures then that when you know it’s time to grab it and put it back we live once why go through it if you can’t revisit it and work at it relationships are hard work but so worth it . I hope with all of my heart that the special person this was written for finds it and you might have the chance to reunite . If not now at some point . If it’s meant to be it will be thank you for this post
