Empty spaces by Hemingway

Posted on Tuesday, December 10, 2019



I remember reading this poem a long time ago, when my heart was trying to remember the songs that only lovers sing. I leave it here. All roads can lead us to where we belong if we accept. 
The year is coming to an end. I was taught by life how to be more patient. Challenges were met with faith. There were surprises and treasures along the road. I hope I keep surprising myself. 
And that salted water, morning kisses and long walks keep being part of my days. The journey is better when we dance, it's better when we laugh, it's better when we love.


If there’s empty spaces in your heart,
They’ll make you think it’s wrong,
Like having empty spaces,
Means you never can be strong,
But I’ve learned that all these spaces,
Means there’s room enough to grow,
And the people that once filled them,
Were always meant to be let go,
And all these empty spaces,
Create a strange sort of pull,
That attract so many people,
You wouldn’t meet if they were full,
So if you’re made of empty spaces,
Don’t ever think it’s wrong,
Because maybe they’re just empty,
Until the right person comes along.
