Goodnight...

-

I listened to his heavy breathing on the other end of my hands-free receiver.

Sigh!

A few more minutes before the line got disconnected and he had drifted off to slumber. It hurt to think that he would sometimes cry himself to sleep.

He has always been there for me through my ups and downs. I would often gather my strength from him and I’ve always admired him for his courage and valued his opinions.

Listening to him cry and talk about his life’s struggles tore my heart to shreds. He’s such a good person, and whatever life he led, people had no right to judge him and he most certainly deserves to be happy. It was not his choice, he said. I think he deserves more respect than some people—individuals that our deranged society considers normal.

As I tried to grope for words of comfort to mutter, tears welled up in my eyes. I wish I could take away his pain…I wish I could make all his problems disappear yet It dawned on me that I couldn't. I can only try to make him feel my love.

I may not be the person who can make him feel again…my love may not be enough… and probably what I have to offer is not the kind of love he was seeking for…

I wish I had all the answers but I don’t.

I only wish that I could hold him in my arms and kiss him goodnight.

Sometimes the best comfort that we can give to the people we love is just to listen... Words can't take away the pain that they are feeling. Time will heal their wounds... - ems

What is it that endears a person to you? Could it be the kind gestures, the close encounters or maybe the things that you have in common that could play with your thoughts and toy with your emotions, making you wonder--could the feeling be mutual? Out of nowhere, anything he does or say to you could possibly mean something, conversations are dissected, you try to read between the lines. Oh Well, most realizations will not be pleasant...it could hit you like a blow to your face. Today, it just dawned on me that such false hopes are bred by your desperate longing to be loved back, that it clouds your mind, probably making you see things the way you want to see them. The answers to your unending questions could be right there before your eyes but you're just too blind to see.

I agree a hundred percent that when you fall in love, you fall hard that you can almost hear the sickening thud when this happens and the feeling just creeps up on you when you least expect it. Wether or not you willfully embrace the thought, in the end, you just give in to the fact that little by little, this other person is slowly becoming a part of you. There is no question why every word he says, every thing he does affects me. I can only be at ease when I know he's there. It doesn't even matter if he feels the same way. As long as I have him near I feel complete. As long as I know he cherishes me in some way, I feel alive.

What's your opinion?

NOW let's discuss something reminiscent of our adolescence for a change. Hahaha... They say that actions speak louder than words. If you don't have the guts to say what's on your mind to someone you like or feel like you're not yet ready to blurt out your true feelings in the open, how do you show a guy/girl how you feel? Anyone you're crushing on at the moment? Please feel free to post your answers, comments, violent reactions...Pls don't forget to put in your nickname at the end of your post.
