ON THE CAROUSEL OF LIFE by Tahlia Hunter

"ON THE CAROUSEL OF LIFE"
by Tahlia Hunter

On the carousel of life,

there will be many you encounter:

Some who you will meet only briefly

and some who will remain with you forever.

For your first love

is not always your last love,

and there are only two places

where love can ever exist:

here

and soon to arrive.

And though you may wish for them to remain with you,

not all connections are meant to last forever,

and once they have served their purpose,

it is no longer necessary to hold on to them.

And when it comes time

for one of you to leave,

it is not that one of you is greater or lesser,

but simply that you are no longer a fit for one another.

As in life:

we are only ever rejected

or left behind

by those who are wrong for us

or are not destined to remain with us

for the next part of our path.

But there is always another connection to find,

another place to belong,

and another person to love,

and loving one person

does not mean you have less to give to another,

for though love comes in a thousand different disguises,

it is the same love that lies beneath all.

And as you heal,

in time, your heart will whisper,

“Even though we did not find love forever,

I am grateful that we found love for this moment in time.

And I am glad that you found love elsewhere,

just as I have and will,

for there is always enough love to go around for all,

and I will always have love for you

with you in my life, or without.

And as the adage goes:

it is better to have loved

than not to have loved at all,

for all the love you have given,

you cannot lose,

as it remains with you forever.”
