Sunshine, my love
Whirlwinds tend to get everything and everyone
caught up in one big storm.
Yes, everything and everyone
Soon it dies down
The after effect however can often be seen for miles
Though some will be unscathed
Others will be left picking up the pieces
This time around: You are apart of the other,
So the question is what will you do now?
Sometimes the easiest yet hardest decision is to run as far and fast as you can
That coupled by the chatter around you cheering you on
However, every night fall, every “love-less” night brings a different twist;
Should I stay or should I go?
The sad reality about whirlwinds, when they come it’s often without much warning.
The hit fast and swift.
The ruin happy moments and create more turmoil in the midst of sad ones.
Whether good or bad, we can only rest, regroup and rebuild.
Every individual will have to rebuild in the way they see fit
It is never a “one hat fits all” situation
Over the past five years, I have realized my relationship and friendships
Have all experienced their whirlwind moments.
With each storm, I have had to rest and regroup.
Some storms, I had to rebuild the old structures with new safety measures
Others, I had to build completely new structures, in new environments
The most important lesson I have learnt is that despite the pain
Not everything is replaceable
Not every bad situation is a sign to run away
If it once bought you love, happiness and peace
Sometimes, you need to think twice
So cry if you must
Then Rest, Regroup, Re-evaluate
And Rebuild as you see fit.
