Wishful Thinking
What we had was beautiful, what we had was true.
But what we had is now over, it’s all in the past.
A gripping pain pierces me to see that you have moved on.
I see you happy with him and I’m torn apart from inside.
Someday, I will be over you too.
I think.

I hope it’s someday ‘soon’.
It’s tough to move on but it’s one of the wisest things we can do especially when that ‘someone special’ doesn’t care anymore.
Nice take.

Yes, moving on is the way to go for one’s own peace of mind and sanity! Thank you, Tarang. Glad you liked this post!

Mm.. it’s difficult to move on.. nice one Shilpa
August 8, 2016 12:30 pm|
Yes, it’s easier said than done, but one has to move on! Thanks Ramya!

It is hard to move on, heart-breaks hurt terribly…..good take on the prompt….
August 8, 2016 12:36 pm|
Oh, they do. But then living in the past does no good.
Thanks Sunaina!

A part of me suffered that for a long time… somehow time ended up burying it all.
August 8, 2016 12:36 pm|
Yes, time is the biggest healer!

Never easy to get over that feeling of ‘What if’. Some relationships are so hard!
August 8, 2016 12:43 pm|
Yes, ‘what if’ scenarios do not let you move on. But hanging in there for long will make you miss out on life too!
August 6, 2016 10:55 am|
It’s tough to pick up the broken pieces & try to mend when it comes to relationships… Dil hai, koi shisha to nahin…
Much said in 55 words, Shilpa.
August 8, 2016 12:51 pm|
I like what you said about Dil hai koi sheesha to nahin 😀
Thanks Anita! Glad you liked this 55 fiction!

Sharp, succinct, sad, Sharpa …
August 8, 2016 12:51 pm|
Thank you, Susan!

Sorry Shilpa – I know someone called Sharpa who is experiencing your 55 words. That must be why I unconsciously wrote her name….
August 8, 2016 12:52 pm|
Aah! I am so sorry for Sharpa. Hope she feels better and happy soon! sending positive vibes her way!

Heart wrenching. Love can be so fickle!
August 8, 2016 12:53 pm|
You bet!
August 6, 2016 12:18 pm|
It’s so painful to move on and let go ….
August 8, 2016 12:53 pm|
Agree to that! But then that’s the only way ahead to be happy!
August 6, 2016 12:40 pm|
Sigh! It hurts to see that the other has moved on and you’re yet to take a step towards it. Time heals!
August 8, 2016 12:54 pm|
Yes, time is the biggest healer!
August 6, 2016 12:44 pm|
Hmm, moving on is tough especially if you are in touch with the one you’ve broken up!
August 8, 2016 12:54 pm|
True. Then you just live in the past and can never come out of the hurt and the pain!
August 6, 2016 4:07 pm|
Always difficult to move on – esp if the love was really strong.
May they be able to do so soon.
August 8, 2016 1:01 pm|
True that. One has to accept the reality and move on!
August 6, 2016 4:48 pm|
getting over is really tough… and only love can help to over the past.
August 8, 2016 1:05 pm|
Yes, one has to let fresh and happy moments to move in and let go of the past!
August 6, 2016 4:48 pm|
Ouch, that hurts! And the wait in such cases is never over!
Sad indeed
August 8, 2016 1:06 pm|
Yes, if one continues to live in the past, they’d wait forever!
August 6, 2016 4:56 pm|
The past is best left where it belongs – in the past. Loved this 55er even though it had a touch of sadness.
August 8, 2016 1:08 pm|
Agree completely! Dwelling too much on past misfortunes can spoil the present and the future too. Thanks Suzy, glad you liked this 55 word story!
August 6, 2016 5:54 pm|
How hard it is to let go of true love!
August 8, 2016 1:08 pm|
It sure is difficult, but not impossible!
August 6, 2016 6:01 pm|
Breaking up and letting go is always hard to do!
August 8, 2016 1:10 pm|
True. What you had or what you could have makes it difficult to move on.
August 6, 2016 6:29 pm|
Wishful thinking serves us best when we are unable to deal with change. Letting go is easier said than done.
Nice post. Loved reading your 55-ers.
August 8, 2016 1:13 pm|
Yeah, old memories warm you up but living in the past will not change the present! Thanks Shashi. Glad you liked the 55ers here. See you around! 🙂
August 6, 2016 8:21 pm|
If only our thoughts could resurrect the past.. Good one, Shilpa 🙂
August 8, 2016 1:13 pm|
If only…
Thanks Mithila! 🙂
