It’s been a long time after my last post and what a way to go back to blogging by doing a cheesy post. I’m not going to name names here but this is a true story based on the incidents that happened a few days back. Let me go through the mind of one of the concerned parties through a song by EBTG

Now and then
Do you wash your hands of me again
Wish me anywhere but home
Drunk and on the end of your phone

From time to time
Do you guess what’s really on my mind
Guess that “How you’re keeping now”
Means “Where are you sleeping now”

Ten long years….that’s how long they have been together but why they are hanging on to each other is still a mystery. In a perfect world, a guy and a girl stay together because of love but that has not been always the case in the real world. There’s always a thin line between love and like and sometimes, need is in the middle of them. More often than not, we only say what our partners want to hear even if it’s not what we feel without thinking that this will hurt in the long run not only for your partner, but yourself as well.

But of course it’s not polite
To ask you where you spent last night
And if I did, you might reply that I have no right
And anyway I’m fine
Glad that you’re no longer mine
If I should tell a lie
I’ll cross my heart and I hope to die

Ten Years after….the inevitable happened. The hard part of a break up is when one has to hold back the feelings in order to prove a point that it is finally over. One party made a mistake, another got hurt to the point that one has to give everything up: the love, the care, and the memories that were shared. One mistake the proved too costly to solicit forgiveness. Yes, if God forgives why can’t we? If you want me to answer that question, that is because we are Human, and we have worldly emotions….and selfish one at that: It’s human nature! But through all the pain that were felt, it could have been gone by one kiss, one hug, or a night to be shared together. But would one forgive knowing that this will be cycle all over again? It would be better to put up a brave front showing that everything is fine although it is obvious that the situation hurts and it is best for both parties to go on a different direction.

You’d be appalled
If you knew what I was doing when you called
Yes, I can see I’m blundering
And I always end up wondering

Will it ever be alright
To ask you where you spent last night
And can it be polite
The way we never write
‘Cause I don’t have the time
And anyway I’m fine
If I should tell a lie
I’ll cross my heart and I hope to die

Post Breakup: Waking up alone would take a lot of time getting used to, but as the old saying goes “every journey begins with a single step”. Picking up the pieces after is hard, especially when flattery is all over the place once more…..those care, those emotions and those memories being revived in order to bring everything back to once it used to be, but one must hold on, as what doesn’t break anyone makes on stronger. Through all the walls that were put up to hide the feelings, one must remember that these are all being done, not to hurt someone further, but to put order to both parties’ lives by putting a proper closure.

As I always say, there will never ever be a good break up, but always have one anyway.
