How someone tries to talk herself out of feeling bad over losing someone she loves, translated…
He’d taught her to play Reversi. She wasn’t the least bit interested in the game, but like being accompanied by him, but he’s already, married, there’s no way that she’ll become his lover, and so, after this, she will NOT call on him to play the game of Reversi with her. After he’d left, she’d mixed the black and white pieces together. She felt, that these two colors go well with each other, if one is taken from the board, then, the game became, too boring. Perhaps, not being able to be with him might be a regret, but, she’d kept him inside her heart, like how the white pieces have the black pieces to accompany them, and, this sort of a beautiful feeling, only she needed to understand.
now, imagine how the board would look, without ALL the black pieces, the game wouldn’t be able to get played, would it??? Nope! Not my picture.
So, this, is one way to help oneself along in the healing process, to tell oneself, that so long as I got the memories of being with so-and-so before, then that would be enough, until one day, it isn’t, because memories aren’t enough, because you longed for the love, and, chances will be, that before you figure yourselves out, you will ALWAYS get trapped by the wrong kinds of love.
