Accepting Heartache

This guided meditation is an original soft-spoken poem focused on guiding listeners to lean into acceptance during times of heartache or emotional pain. Showing acceptance through the pain and wishing happiness on others are key concepts reflected in the meditation. Trusting in a Higher Power regarding the outcome of an emotional experience is central to this practice as well.

Even though it hurts me,

I still wish you the very best.

For someone that I loved as much as you,

I could never wish you any less.

So I'll love you from afar,

And finally let you be.

My heart aches,

But I still want you to be happy,

Even if it's not with me.

It kills me the way things ended.

It still feels like this is not how things ought to be.

But for what it's worth,

I'll continue cherishing every beautiful,

Happy memory.

I saw your face for the first time in what feels like forever.

It feels like somehow I'm losing what I had left of you,

Anything that once lingered or was tethered.

Seeing you look so happy,

I didn't expect it to bring out so many emotions in me.

I felt pure happiness for you,

Yet melancholy in me.

I guess this is what it means to truly love someone.

To accept their wishes,

Respect their space,

And let them be.

Oh how this stings me,

But I'll accept how you want this to be.

I see that you are fully happy now,

And fully free.

This is never what I wanted,

But I'll trust in divinity,

That whatever is meant to be,

Will be.
