Why is that people sometimes don’t understand that they are never meant to be together.

Let’s take two of my friends for example.

The guy and the girl study in the same school; pass out from the same degree college and keep in touch for 12 long years. Both of them have seen the ups and downs of their lives and they have even shared their secrets that no none in the world knows expect them. The guy thinks they are the best buddies in the world, while the girl has or had other ideas about the whole relationship.

btw she is married now, has a kid and a wonderful husband. This guy is proud of what she has made of her life.

Now comes the clincher. Out of the blue, one fine evening during a normal mobile convo she blurts out she was in love with him for past 12 years or so. The guy is furious. Heated words are exchanged and knifes are drawn and suddenly they’re “enigmas”

The guy furious that she would do something as stupid as telling him this after all these years and the guy has never even looked at her in any other sense than the word friend. The guy suddenly feels like someone just stabbed him in the back.

And here comes the best part. The guy has known all along that she really liked him and he always acted dumb because he never had the nerve to tell her that he doesn’t see them like that.

The guy has been through lot in his life, parents fighting all the time, an abusive father, a mother who was least bothered what he was up to, a love affair which nearly turned him suicidal some years back – and lots of emotional scars that have over the years has turned into hate, pure hate for everything including life. And the girl obviously knows, cos he told her everything.

Now I am sitting across this guy while he telling me all this and I am suddenly wondering, why are relationships so complicated, why is it so difficult to understand that you end up biting your nails the whole night just thinking about them.

Relationships are not complicated, we just make them so. As for the guy and girl I just didn’t know what to say. Obviously they took each other help during their tough times; they kinda looked after each other. So why did things turn so bad?

I thought the guy was a little selfish, but I wouldn't know. Just this was enough to muddle my thoughts for the next couple of days.

3:30 am - Wedding Crashers:

And I am thinking....

People who love the most ...hate the most..

Tonight we read the end of the story,
Let’s turn these yellow pages over
Let's find a new beginning
This story is already dead sweetheart
Let’s get rid of the stench and the carcass

Let me open these windows
And let some summer breeze in
Let me smile for a change
Let me put on those brown suede I bought
For that special occasion

Let me dance for a while under the stars
And find my singing voice again
This life is not over, yet.

Let me walk all the bridges in Paris, O’ hopeless romantic
Lets me stare at the Sistine chapel and owe
Let me have that first kiss again
And that tickling sensation at the back of neck

I am here, to fall in love again with life
