It’s an interesting night. I just had a conversation with my ex on msn. It’s sad that she only realises things too late. Then again, the word “realise” really had a “too late” tone to it. But still, I’m happy for her that she realises it. True, I don’t deny I’m sad, I don’t deny my heart does sulk a little, but like I said to her, if by being a friend I can be of better help, then it’s better off that way. In a way, I haven’t really been true to her, in the sense that I never showed her the real me, and in the end when I tried to enforce the rational side, things fell apart. I have learned a lesson too from this relationship: Love is never enough. Not really in a cynical way, but in a honest way. You can’t just be loving and giving in to someone all the time. It’s about acceptance, forgiveness, trust and respect. It should go something along the lines of
“Honey I don’t really like you doing this and this”
“Ok, I shall try not to do it.”
It’s like a simple conversation with all 4 aspects in it. I’m really kind of tired right now to explain this, and I think it would be better for any reader to discover how they fit in in that two lines above. It became for me that I was so indulgent in the mentality that love can solve everything, but eventually it was also the root to the problem.
But it was weird when she found it weird when I said certain things. Like I “pulled myself out” last week, that was weird. And “ruling out possibilities”, that was weird too. Hmm, I wonder how else I could rephrase it. I meant it when I said I am not ruling her out as a possibility. I’m quite forgiving, so much that my friends find it difficult to accept sometimes. I had said that I wasn’t going to wait though, and if I find someone who can make me feel again so strongly for, I would go all out for her. It was a tough but valuable lesson learnt from another female friend last week, the lesson of discovering that I could really give without fear. The tough part was the realisation that the strong feeling I felt was all wrong LOL.
It is really sad (not for me, honestly more for her) that she couldn’t take up my dinner offer. If there’s any wishing for the best, I think she would need it more than me. I know (I hope) she would be reading this, and this is honestly what I feel: tread carefully and learn to control and hold back your feelings and emotions; If you just let go too fast, you may fall very hard.
But remember, I’ll always have free listening ears and FREE HUGS!
