Melancholia

Why am I so sad all the time?

Just because.
Just because sadness makes me happy.
Happy for the days long gone.
Happy for my closeness to reality.
Happy to be shaken to the core.

Well, not really happy happy.
But happy poignant.
Pensive.
Thoughtful.
Reflective.

Be still my beating heart.
Let go of things that needed letting go.
Keep the worthwhile things, people, memories.
Move forward with a spring in your steps & love in your heart.
