NEVER LET GO

NEVER LET GO

Sometimes when you are walking down the street you see something that catches your eye: “SOMETHING SPECIAL”. You pick it up and you hold it tight. You smile at it. You hold it close to your heart. You love it. It loves you back with an unrelenting love.
On the walk home you start to think of other things and they consume your thoughts and you start to not appreciate what you are holding in your hand. It begins to slip away…slowly. As it slips and falls out of your hand time slows down for Something Special, as it feels your grip releasing. Something Special hopes that you will realize that it is fading into your past as it falls to the ground and watches you walk away down the brown and yellow leaf covered path. But your mind is a mess and has yet to snap into that moment in time to see that your hand is now empty and lonely. Something Special lands on the hard black speckled pavement and is left to stare into the blue sky and wonder why. You now have caused such an unbelievable pain to that Something Special as it wonders how you could have let it slip away so easy.
When you finally come to see that the Something Special is gone you try to desperately to find it so that you can explain why you let it slip away and how sorry you are. For days and months and more than a year you try to find it. You walk the path that you walked that dreadful day and tell the path your story over and over…but the path is not listening, no matter how hard you try. You search for that Something Special with every ounce of your heart. You won’t let anything else enter your heart. You now know what you lost and knew it the second you realized you lost it….but that “SOMETHING SPECIAL” does not want to be found by you anymore!
