When Some Loves Are Lightning ⚡

Some connections don’t arrive to stay —

they arrive to shake us.

They flash into our lives like lightning: brief, dazzling, unmissable ⚡

And when they go, the silence they leave behind can feel louder than anything that came before.

It’s as if your whole being had opened in their presence —

only to be gently stitched closed again…

but never quite the same.

And so you wonder:

Why so short?

Why so sudden?

Why did something that felt so vast end with so much unfinished?

But maybe not all love is meant to finish in form.

Some are meant to finish in flame 🔥🔥

These are the loves that awaken.

That split the sky of your old self

and pour something new into you 🌧️💫

They don’t leave behind promises.

They leave behind paths —

To your own heart.

To a wiser version of you.

At first, you may only feel the ache —

of not being able to hold their hand in the daylight,

of walking past places laced with memory,

of not knowing if they think of you too.

But slowly, that ache softens.

The longing stops reaching out —

and begins reaching in 🌿

That’s where transformation begins.

Because even if they weren’t yours to keep,

what they stirred in you is now yours to tend:

✨ The tenderness

✨ The clarity

✨ The self-respect

✨ The silent vow to never again dim your soul in the name of connection

If you’ve had a love like this —

one that changed you more than it comforted you —

this is for you.

You are not foolish for feeling deeply.

You are not weak for remembering.

Your soul recognised something real.

And that is never something to shut down.

It’s something to grow from 🌸

So yes — let your heart grieve what could not stay.

But let it also be proud —

that it once beat so bravely for something true ❤️‍🔥

And maybe, one day,

under the sun, the moon, or a sky full of stars,

you’ll walk beside someone again.

But this time, your hands won’t just be reaching out —

they’ll be full.

Full of all the light you kept alive in the dark 🌙🤲✨
