Does Absence Make The Heart Grow Fonder?

Everyone says absence makes the 
heart grow fonder. But everyone 
that says that is just another 
human being looking for a new 
way to make money or make you 
feel better, so they come up with 
good quotes that make people 
cry, and smile, and laugh; when 
really what they write means 
absolutely nothing to them and 
they feel not the least bit of 
emotions for what they are 
writing about. 
See, in reality absence doesn’t 
make the heart grow fonder, 
absence makes the heart lonely; 
and sad. Sure you wont ever 
forget a smile, or the things she 
told you before she left, or that 
she held your hand when you 
needed her to. 
But what about the sound of her 
voice? Or the feeling you got 
when she was wrapped up in 
your arms, Sure you remember 
that nothing in the world made 
you feel the way she could, but 
can you actually remember that 
feeling? You wake up everyday 
feeling like the only enemy you 
have in the world is the day itself. 
Everyday is potentially another day 
closer to her, and yet everyday is 
also another day without her. Only 
X more days of this torture until 
she MAYBE comes back, when 
really only X more days until 
nothing. And then you think, why 
am i even doing this? What am i 
waiting for? For her to tell me she 
loves me but we cant be 
together? For another goodbye? 
For another set of lonely months 
when the only way i can sleep is 
to drink myself to sleep and 
pretend like im happy with the 
way things are? 
And then after that, you get angry 
with that person because they’re 
gone and they left you. You hate 
the world for taking her away, 
and you hate her for letting the 
world take her away. And so you 
get angry with yourself for feeling 
like you did and hating them. You 
hate yourself for hating her. And 
you drink yourself to sleep 
because you cant remember what 
her voice sounds like or what she 
smells like, or the feeling you got 
when she said, “I love you.” 
And then you remember the 
reason you’re waiting in the first 
place. And you accept that you’re 
willing to wait alone, and sleep 
alone, and smile alone; even if you 
cant be together right now. you 
wont give up because they’re a 
part of you and you cant just let 
that part of you go. That’s when 
you realize there’s no turning 
back now, and your stuck with 
the lonely days, and the sleepless 
nights. 
And you realize that none of that 
matters anymore. Because she’s 
worth it, and she will always be 
worth it. And That you’d live 
everyday alone in the pouring rain 
for her. That not pain, or fear, or 
even loneliness can keep her from 
you. 
Thats when you realise its all 
worth it and whatever happens… 
friendship or Romance 
again…..she is worth all the pain 
and heartache…because she is the 
woman who makes you smile and 
laugh….and that is worth 
everything 
So... what do you think?
