Goodbye

Its a little fucked up sometimes how the world works, but the best part is, usually its all our own doing. Given gazillion chances, we never saw what is in front of us, we never realized so many things, so myopic was our vision. All we knew was this is good, and this is what I want, and this is what I will endeavour to make succeed.

This is The Path, The One.

Yet, we do not make that very clear. We dont do everything possible to make that known and upfront. We dont display that EAGERNESS to prove and exhibit this feeling of ours. And we think we can keep this entity bouncing and happy and manage out whatever bad things that could possibly come between us. Ho, we THINK we can manage it out, to 'protect' the entity. IS THAT protection? And we don't KNOW how to truly appreciate and treasure this wonderful, priceless entity. And until this precious precious entity is being threatened to be removed from us, do we finally wake up and realize the extent and depth of the hold that this entity has on us.

But by then its too late. The entity decides to move on. As it has every right to.

And we are left standing in our socks, broken, beaten, aged, a shell, a shadow of our former selves, no where near the person that she originally fell in love with. If she becasted a glance upon me, there'd b no flicker of recognition or warmth, because what you see is no longer who he was and the feeling with which she saw him with exists not either.

The BOY, as he has every right to be called since that is what he earned, will then grow to be a Man. A real man, for once. How do you measure a man? By what he does when no one is looking? By how he reacts when times are hard? By the number of veins on his arms and the definition of his jawline? A Man, is a man of principle, founded on a solid bedrock of a strong faith in God and His Word, who will know what the right thing to do at any given point is, and has the balls to do it, inspite of the intended or unintended consequences.

Unfortunately, this is a script seen many times b4. By the time he learns his lesson n grows up, its too late for the current, and they have to move on, and perhaps he gets to manifest his new self to the new.

Now he is all grown up, he walks on in Life, and perhaps he meets another. But he will never again be able to love the way he did, never again will he love another as strongly, deeply and truly as he had. There is absolutely no way that any other woman can worm her way into his heart the way his One True Love did.

To b continued...
