This isn't exactly what I think most here would regard as heartbreak, but has been pretty close to it for me. A few months ago I was driven by a compulsion for honesty to clarify some things about myself to a person who had become a prized friend. Some mutual friends saw a budding romance, but I doubted it even then because I was very aware that we had deep rooted differences in our perception of the universe. As dreaded, once all my cards were on the table, this person walked away. To me his reaction was justified and once it happened I resigned myself to having lost someone surprisingly important to me. While I moved on without much outward effect, it had hurt.
But yesterday, after months of silence, he left a message asking me out to dinner. Don't know when, where, or why, but hopefully he has made peace with our differences ..... or maybe it was just serious timing issues. Whatever the reason for the silence and now communication being restored, it's good. Sometimes you just have to trust that things happen for a reason and in the long run its usually for the best.
Only an open mind and open heart can be filled with life. ********************* Find your voice; silence will not protect you.
