i now understand that in order for you to take someone for granted, it doesn't necessarily means death or parting. That someone can still be alive, yet you already lose him.

at times you don't realise how much you treasure something till it goes away. by the time you realise the mistake of letting it go away, it's too late. maybe you shouldn't be too hard on yourself. in fact, you did it for your best interest. it was a choice to be made and you call the shots. you did the right thing. then, why does your heart still feels that tinge of pain inside?

is that guilt? or remorse? or is the feeling of loss? you are mourning internally. whatever it is, it is aching. you want it so bad but you can't have it. why? cause you already decide not to have it. to let it go.

i realise the importance of understanding in a relationship after much pondering have been given over my brief encounter with justin. the relationship failed prematurely. it was my choice and i don't want to say i regret doing so but i just wish that the experience shared was longer and sweeter. it is in fact this very relation that helps me envision the hope for an impossible union might occur.

maybe it will all turn alright if we took a minute to understand the other person rather than try hard to make the person understand us.

does it make any sense to you?

it does to me.
