Ever heard of the cliché that love is like a bird in your hand...open your palm, it will fly...tighten the grip, it will die.
How can it be understood that after more than a decade, a ghost from the past suddenly appeared to haunt you…to awaken the dragon of emotions that you tried very hard to bury? How can it be understood that after the pain you went through all these years, the paradigm shifted that emotions overpower control? How can it be understood that after all the agony and anguish, after all the time that elapsed, you can still recognize the bitter sweet torment. You searched deep within and wonder why you are extremely affected? Why the very sound of his voice sends shivers down your spine? Why all of sudden, you frantically wanted to turn back time and be the same person he used to love? Why the more you tried, the more you fall into the abyss of mishaps of turning yourself into someone you’re not? Someone so insecure, forlorn and pathetic. Why the more you attempt to get near, the more he seems to be driven on the other side. Tightening the grip really will kill whatever is left. You start to ponder and realized that you still appallingly wanted to find out the “what if”? That you desperately, terribly wanted to keep him to yourself… at least for the moment…even as an illusion...even if you’re not sure if you still know him. Out of curiosity? You don't know! You are so afraid to feel the pain of losing him again but scared to let him know because he will never understand. You felt helpless and hopeless seeing him so confused and perplexed. You wanted to explain but there’s no point. He will never understand. How can you explain something that you yourself cannot undestand? It doesn’t matter now…supposedly. So you opted to switch on to pretending-mode...the only way to keep the friendship. Act as if you’re a tower of strength, and reciprocate his being cavalier but when he’s gone, longing creeps in and you’re weak. How can it be understood why you are going through this vortex of emotion when reality is as bright as broad daylight that neither your hearts are free nor both hands are tied.
It’s difficult to understand. And it’s all about you. It’s all about how you feel. It’s all about your failure to tame the dragon. It’s all about the lies you told yourself and actually believed. And it’s time to end it all. You deserve to be free from the shadows of the past….one day…someday…when the time is right…you'd rather not go there..but you will...soon.
“When you love someone, set him free...whether he comes back or not, it doesn’t matter…because it’s never meant to be”
