Store Display Windows

Ever had that moment when you wanted something you saw at a store's display window, but can never have it for reasons beyond your control or power? You can walk down that path every single day, look at it, and dream of things you'd do with it, but all the same, you can never have it.

It's kinda like loving someone you know you can never have as your own, be it because he/she doesn't feel the same way, or someone else has already filled up the space you wanted to be on. Loving from a distance, never getting anything in return. Sacrificial, as you give your all.

Sucks, doesn't it?

Well, that's how I felt after seeing someone I once loved unconditionally a day ago. I remembered all the time and effort I wasted on her just to keep her happy when she was down. How I cared for her, did my best to keep her from breaking down, cheering her up when things looked bleak, and even went with her when I could have been doing something far more important. She once meant the world to me. I may not have been significant in her world, but to me, she once was. But not anymore.

Realizations sometimes come late, but all the more, they free us of the hurt and despair we get from something that happened in the past. They're our escape from a prison of regret and depression a person sometimes falls into. They pulls us out of a sea of tears and blood.

Whether they come early, on time, or too late, they all relieve us of the sadness and pain. So if a realization comes across your train of thought, accept it, think on it, and live with it.
