The tid-bits.

Can love be this painful? Why do we ever commit our hearts to anyone if we know that heartbreak is inevitable? I thought I was practical, intelligent & logical.

Then how is falling in love practical? How is that, even knowing he is going to break me into pieces, giving full power to him over me, logical? How is shedding billions of tears even now, when I know that everything is lost, intelligent?

Giving someone the supremacy in your life can only bring you pain. Thinking that the one you care about cares the same way about you is completely illogical.

Times change, people too change. It may sound very cynical, but I can never believe that love lasts forever, true or truer or truest.

Affection dies out. Happy endings are only for the mushy Mills & Boon novels. After a couple of months, even years, the novelty of falling in love dies out.

How can we claim to know someone totally? How can anyone be sure of someone else’s innermost thoughts? How can a person know that someone loves them and will love them forever?

How can anyone be that naïve?

Love hurts badly. It breaks your heart into little pieces & if that weren’t enough, it breaks your sanity ten times more.

Worse? It doesn’t let go. You keep on loving that person even if it were months since your break-up. You plead, cry but nothing works.

You put up a brave face, smile, tell everyone, ‘love’s crap’. Is it really? Or are you so bruised that even the word ‘love’ brings up bile to your throat?

Worst? You keep on wishing he would come back, set everything right, kiss you and make up for all the hurt.

That doesn’t happen. You heal, slowly, but atleast you heal.

Then suddenly someone else opens those old wounds by telling a little fact or fiction of the past. All the efforts of healing go up in smoke.

Everything seems suffocating. Taking a fresh gulp of air seems to take too much effort.

Smiling seems like a chore, laughing a pain.

Is this what love is supposed to be?

This suffocation, this pain……it’s unbearable!

THANKS for teaching me a lesson.
