On Goodbyes

Seeing the end of the relationship from a distance of months or years and then having it upon you like a ton of anguish, relief, and doubt, ruthlesslly crushing the last vestiges of shared dream/vision from both of your hearts and then just saying your goodbyes, turning away to that quiet abyss of icy solitude.
Goodbyes like this are the most weathering of all, the souls sediments stirred to such a frothy mix that navigation is all guess work for while.

When we realize how alone we are as individuals we remember how important those we love really are.

That is one of the saddest and most real things I've read in years. So many people just can't get that very simple fact.

{I} - Do I hear Frost? :) The road lest breakin. You muse me!
enemy - Alone we are candles in the dark but together we become a torch that lights the way. That light does make it easy to see the broken glass.

Your last line speaks volumes; it's something I'm personally learning now. A tough lesson sometimes yet very much worth it in the end.
