There are different types of pain. We feel pain for different reasons. Sometimes the pain comes and refuses to leave. Pain becomes a constant companion.. to such an extent that you have no space for anything or anybody else. It consumes you.. drains you of energy and the will to live.. But still, you keep on living.. Life does not stop because you are in pain. Life cares not for your pain.. No one sees it.. no one feels it.. and no one understands it.. only you understand your pain.. and your pain understands you..
There are different types of pain.. there is physical pain.. there is pain of heartbreak.. pain of loss.. pain of unfulfilled or broken dreams.. and there is also the pain which you feel seeing someone you care about being in pain.. that, in my opinion is the worst. Seeing one you care about being in pain is the worst. Because that person is usually hiding the pain. So, even if u can feel their pain, you have no idea how to make it better. That hurts even more, the feeling of helplessness and impotence. Seeing them hurt kills you inside. You wish to take away all their pain and make them smile, but you are denied that. You just have to sit and see one you love suffer. In those moments, you wish you could give all your happiness to them. But some things are not possible.
So that pain becomes part of the enormity of feeling you have for that person. Then you realize that pain is bigger than love. Ans being able to feel pain for someone, that is love. Pain stems from love. To love is to be able to feel pain for someone, its to be able to feel the pain they hide behind their smile. Its to be able to see the silent, invisible tears that fall from their soul. That type of pain never leaves you.
