Was it a sign?

It's not just pain. It is soul-breaking. It gnaws into the being. Beautiful pictures come floating into the mind and the pain rises, re-rises and keeps on hurting.
In life, we hardly get a person we can talk to, we can speak our heart to, a person we can love with the whole of our being. People get together, stay with one another, but there is only a connection at the gross level. Hardly people go beyond that and feel any difference. And a life is spent. And if a prospect, of being separated from that person presents itself, the earth seems to disappear from under the feet.

The heart feels numb, empty.We look for a good place to cry, to hide our weakness.
When thoughts and tear drops continue their journey together, it suddenly starts to rain. It comes all of a sudden, the downpour, because there are no clouds in the sky.

Is it a sign? What kind of a sign it is?Is it a sign that existence cries because two God's chosen ones are going away from one another? Or was it a sign that something ended.
Or is it a sign that God is incapacitated for the moment?

The leaves look so green.
Clear eyes can see that life is a gift.
It has to be lived.
Despite everything.
Keeping the goodness intact, untouched, despite the pain fate inflicts again and again.
Not to give up.
To keep on struggling, to keep fighting.
To believe, to have faith.
Giving up means bowing down,
To struggle means to have a hope, that love never bows down, it unites souls, joins hearts. If it bows down, it is never love.
The pain persists.
The faith too.
