thot for the day:
'tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all...
wise saying from a wiser man. i agree entirely of course, but only with the benefit of hindsight. the times i spent crying over loves lost were not spent whilst dwelling on how life will get better. life just sucked then, especially when thoughts of her sweet voice constantly haunt you.
i once said i would wait ten years for a woman i loved. i was convinced then that no one else would do nor that anyone else would come by my way, who would be better than her.
i was wrong, of course. i had tweaked and tinkered with the image of her perfectness in my mind so much, that the woman i loved no longer resembled the woman i wanted. simply put, she just wasn't the person i had come to love so much.
i didn't realise that, and i cried for weeks, months. and then i grew up. and i let go.
sometimes, she came back to haunt me. but by then i recognised why it could never have worked out. that made it easier to let go as well.
