Broken

Will we ever be able to go back again? 
Back to the place where it was natural, 
Where words flowed and our eyes met with no hesitation?
Where the bond was solid and I didn't have to second guess...
To second guess what I said or did, 
To second guess my place in your world, 
To second guess you love, your pride, your faith in me. 
Will we ever be able to go back again?
Back to the place where we were good friends, 
Where conversation was effortless and laughter the norm, 
Where I never felt the need to hide form your solemn filled gaze, 
Where promise was the order of the day and you saw only a bright tomorrow, 
Where I didn't feel the need to prove myself.
Will we ever be able to go back again,
Or is this what we have become...
Broken?

In Shona there is a proverb that goes "Chadeuka chadeuka mukaka haujorewi" and this simply translated means that milk that has been spilled cannot be drawn up again. Can relationships be mended or like a beautiful piece of china that has been broken they can never be pieced back together to reform their original glory and have lost their valor and value forever?

This post was inspired by one such relationship and to be honest I can't let this one go. Maybe relationships can't be mended or pieced back together to what they were before but is it possible that you can build again, something new? It breaks my heart that in the place of something that was so beautiful remains just fragments of what 'was' so in the spirit of believing in a better tomorrow I hold onto HOPE...I purpose to work on this relationship and hopefully one day in the future I will be able to blog about what now 'is'...

Isaiah 61 vs 3 says," 'He has sent me' to provide for those who grieve in Zion-- to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair." so I HOLD ONTO HOPE!!
