[note]: the following entry is long and depressing.. and its just me rambling n whining..
last night while just browsing thru some fren's blog.. i stumbled onto a blog and quite a number of his entries were about his long distance relationship with his gf that ultimately led to a breakup.. and how he felt during and after.. how he came to realise that sometiems love is not enough.. even tho i did feel abit nosy reading all these private stuff.. i just felt like.. i could relate.. and then i realised that i actually know many people either currently in a LDR or have experienced it before.. and trust me when i say its
no joy ride.. alot of them fail.. alot of the couples go thru alot of pain and heartache while trying to cope with it.. there are some (too little) that do end up together but as i said.. too little.. even with all the latest technology.. LDR are very difficult.. and thats an understatement.. i believe that LDR need ALOT of trust and commitment from both sides.. and hard work.. lots of it.. love may not be enuff to pull you thru the storm.. the distance.. and if only one side works.. it still might not be 'happily ever after'..
reading that blog.. it brought all the emotions and memories that i have worked to forget or suppress.. longing, anger, jealousy, frustration, pain.. emotions that are very common when your loved one is miles and miles away.. and the empty pillow by your side is just taunting you.. the ache in your heart a constant reminder.. i have been thru 2 failed LDR.. and to say i emerged unscath would be laughable.. to top it up.. both of them kinda ended coz of another girl.. and it hurt.. alot.. to be told by someone else.. to know that the person you loved and trusted.. even tho they did not cheat on you per se.. they
dint care enough to tell you in person that their love for you had faded.. "
out of sight, out of mind" i reckon that happens alot.. i know that thousands of ppl have been thru the same thing, but that doesent stop the hurt.. that doesent stop the doubt that creeps into your mind.. the thought that maybe
i'm not good enough.. does wonders to the self esteem huh? to know you gave it your all.. but it wasnt good enuff.. maybe it'll never be good enuff.. maybe i'll alwiz come second place.. i know im just rambling.. i'm not some psycho thats depressed all the time.. its just that.. even tho i tell myself its over.. theres nothing i can do about it.. nothing i could have done then.. nothing i can do now.. there is no use crying over spilt milk.. especially milk that spilt so long ago.. i'm fine 99% of the time.. but then..being the one left behind.. sometimes seeing stuff or just random thoughts..or a scent.. and everything comes bubbling up to the surface again.. or more like gushing.. and sometimes i feel so helpless.. (hopeless) no matter how many times my head tells my heart to GET OVER IT.. the tears just wont stop flowing.. i know that im over him.. but i cry for the loss..i cry coz of the dull ache inside.. i cry coz sometimes it still hurts to think of him being with someone else.. it still hurts to think that the first/true love of my young life obviously did not care for me..
maybe im making all the wrong choices.. maybe its their loss not to know wat they left behind.. maybe im better off without them.. maybe i'll meet someone who will appreciate me.. maybe im worth more than i give myself credit..
but then.. all those maybes does not stop the pain.. nor does it take away the loneliness..
at the end of the day.. i'm still alone..
