People
want closure for everything. When they are done with unwanted
segments of their lives they want it shut off, boarded up and
locked away like a spare room in a big old house but like
this our hearts grow smaller and smaller with every memory
forgotten and eventually, we are unable to feel much of
anything at all. No. It's important to let love air out,
even linger, once lost. To allow yourself to feel, however
badly it hurts, what you have loved until at last it stops or
a new love comes along and makes its home in your
heart.
