The thing about love
"l dont want to tell you nothing you don't want to hear
All I want is for you to say
Why don't you just take me where I've never been before
I know you want to hold me catch my breath...
I love you till the end"

You cannot just hate this song. Why I chose to write about love.. Ummm it's cause it's 2.00 a. m. and I've just finished watching love stories back to back.. Anyways i just curse love so might as well praise it once for a change.. :p Okay this one is dedicated to everyone who's ever been in love and heartbroken..
I know our life isn't going to be all lovey dovey and you're not going to meet your love of your life just like that.. Everyone wants a Gerry in their life (if you haven't watched P. S. I love you.. please do).
I wish love was as easy as portrayed in movies.. Oh boy it is not.. Yes we do make mistakes in our life. We fall in love.. Sometimes it's real sometimes we just "think" that it is love. It works for some and doesn't for some, the ones that it doesn't work for feel cheated, betrayed, heart broken, sad, unlucky and always have the "why me?" feeling... Sometimes the most perfect relationships go for a toss. We fight.. First we fight to hold on and then we fight to let go.. Fighting to let go is more difficult cause we know there is no hope, we are going to get hurt more further if we try to hold on; but we do not want to believe that.. We want to hold that teeny tiny hope in our hearts.. The hope which says no he/ she is going to come back and its going to be all rosy again... Acceptance becomes very difficult. You will give anything, do anything to hold back to that person, ask them to come back, you would have had a hell lot of conversations with that person in your head which you would never actually have in reality... So to all those who have been through that or are going through that I just want you all to know.. Its okay to feel that way.. You know "Its better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all."
I bet a lot of you would have made up your mind to not love at all, to never feel, to stay away from this crap. All I want to tell you people is just hold on guys. Someday you will meet your true love. I know its difficult to believe in true love after having a heart break. Its going to be difficult.. Seing someone you love go away is not easy. But its okay at times to think about yourself.. Its okay to be hurt. Its okay to screw up. Every time you screw up, you learn something.. Every failed relationship you have ever been in teaches you what NOT to do in a relationship and what kind of person NOT to date. There is a line in The Fault in our Stars "That's the thing about pain, it demands to be felt." So feel, cry hard, cry yourself to sleep but do not cry for the same person again.
So its time to let go. Let go the one who doesn't value you, the one who takes you for granted, the one who wants to be with you for time-pass, the one who is afraid to commit, the one who isn't sure what they want in their life, the one who breaks up with you all the time and comes back to you when alone.. Its only going to hurt you further.. Instead of thinking why me.. Kick this "one" out of your life so that you can make place for the "Real One". Cause you deserve happiness, you deserve someone who treats you the way you deserve to be treated.
As it is rightly said "Good things come to those who wait." So just wait. That person is out there somewhere waiting for you as well... Looking at whom you'd feel butterflies in your stomach. Your heart will skip a beat just looking at them smile. You would want to tell them every little detail of your day to them. Just sitting with them without even speaking a word would make sense. You could see it in their eyes, the love for you. Looking at them you will have a smile on your face, a smile so big that it will reach your eyes. This person will understand you in and out.. Would take all the little efforts to make you smile no matter how silly it is.. The day will come when you will tell them about all the hurt, all the pain, all the suffering that you felt and why you were afraid to fall in love. This person would hug you so so tight that all the broken pieces would stick together. You wouldn't mind barring your soul and showing them the real you. You would be vulnerable, but you would realise, you can't feel love without being vulnerable. They would make you realise why it never worked out with anybody else cause you were meant to meet this amazing person.
Be ready to get hurt, let your guard down. Let down the walls and you will find love. You cannot find love without feeling vulnerable. . The one is coming very soon to heal all your wounds and make you realise how it feels to be in love again...But for this to happen you will have to let go of the past, let go of the person you were in love and make way for the special one.
Fall in love,
Its one of the beautiful feelings ever..
You will fall in love with the most unexpected person at the most unexpected time. So don't stop looking. :)
PS: I am not writing this cause I have found my guy. I am still looking out for my Gerry. But yes, when I find him I am going to fall in love and this time it is going to be real and is going to last. I am not guessing this. I know :)
Love u babe.. awesome.. beautifully written.. happy to hear this from you.. :*
ReplyDeleteI love you more... :*
DeleteO girl..u made me cry and at the same u made me realise the value of myself as well as the person who deserves to be valued in my life..and that shall be ma gerry..:) as rightly said.."it demands to be felt" there are no free lunches so it goes without saying that certain experiences make us suffer but at the end they give us far more better things than we actually deserve..one more feather in ua cap..undoubtedly u have not failed to express one more unsaid something..!!

ReplyDeleteI was just googling some random thing and then, I came upon your blog. A lot of things you wrote totally resonate with me. This post, however, makes my heart ache.
ReplyDeleteOnce upon a time, I fell in love with someone, in the cliche way that is usually described in romance novels. Our eyes accidentally met across the crowded room, and I suddenly, unexpectedly felt a twitch in my stomach. Ever since that moment, I have never been able to get that person out of my mind. And it has been more than 3 years.
Although we never ever said anything to each other face to face, I felt so strongly that this person must have been my soulmate. The way we behaved was strangely similar. We had the same sense of humor, or at least, had similar interests in weird things. Whenever I look into their eyes, I always felt like I could understand them and they could understand me. Like we communicated in a silent language that only we got it. It's just so weird because our cultures and backgrounds were just so different.
But gosh, the feelings I got when I stood next to that person without saying anything, when I stared into that person's eyes and when they smiled at me... I could never find words to describe those. I had never felt that way towards anyone, even now.
But there were just so many things that stood between us, so many barriers. The fact that they were already married... In the end, I just walked away from everything. It was clearly the right thing to do, but it broke my heart. And it made me feel like there was no such thing as true love or soulmate in this world. If there was, how did we end up like this? If what I felt for that person was not love, when I sincerely adored everything that I knew about them, even their flaws and imperfections. when it made me so happy just to see that person smile, when my heart until this very moment still raced for only that person, then what else could love be?
I have tried so hard to move on, but somehow, the people that I like always have at least two things similar to that person. But they just could never make me feel the same way that that person did. So I always end up feeling empty.
What is love anyway?
Dear WhiteLily,
DeleteApologies for the delay in response. I have thought and thought about what you have written, and what should i reply to make you feel better. But i could not come up with anything that could make you feel better. So let me just write down what I felt after reading your comment.
I know how difficult it is to let go someone you love after knowing that person could be your only shot at happiness. But let me tell you; you did the right thing by letting that person go.
We can never be happy by making someone else sad.
Some people come into your life just to teach you something. Maybe this person's purpose of coming into your life was to let you know how it felt to be with a person who has similar thought process as you do.
I've been head over heels in love with someone who was not at all like me. Like you said, I've done everything beyond my power to make him happy and have gone out of my ways more than I have ever for someone in my entire life. It did not work out in the end, I was left with a lot of unfulfilled promises and a broken heart. I have found myself wondering, why did he come in my life in the first place, if he was not meant to stay. I totally connect with the void you are talking about. After feeling so much for someone; consciously or not you just don't wish to let anyone else take their place. No matter how good the next person we meet, we just have this bias toward them and we already have a pre-conceived notion in your mind that he can never make me feel the way 'my guy' did.
Life is not always fair, hey but it does not have to be always sad. Just let it go. If you are stuck because you did not get closure, then please go and talk to that person. Tell him, how you feel; tell him that you do not need an answer and you just wanted to get things off your chest. Once you have your closure, it would be easier for you to let go off him and move on.
The void you are feeling at present is temporary and would eventually be filled or fade away.
Start seeing other people, with an open mind.
Life does not end here. You will definitely fall in love AGAIN. I don't know when, but you surely will; just don't give up. You will be loved the way you deserve to be. He is going to make you realise why it never worked with someone else. Maybe it will make sense then, as to why this person we are talking about was not meant for you. It may not seem right now, but like Greenday says 'It's something unpredictable, but in the end its right'. Just let go of the past. When you do find your "Gerry", I want you to come back here and leave a comment that you have found your happy ending. I am not answering your question 'What is love anyway?' I want you to do it yourself and come up with the answer when you find your Gerry... Cheers!! and all the very best :)
