For M
Hello there!
Seemed rather corny to offer advice and chin up comments when you were so obviously broken-hearted. It’s not in the least like me to offer advice on mail either except that what you say reminds me of something I’d blogged about nearly two years ago, when I was veering towards a break up.
Am not gonna offer you any suggestions/advice/self-help quips or think positive one liners. Nor am I gonna tell you that you should give her space and time, nor am I gonna tell you clichés like “When you love somebody let them go,” etc.etc.
Nor am I gonna tell you that if she doesn’t know you are it, she’s not worth it. Nor am I gonna tell you that if you love her, you must fight for her. But, one random, very, very random thing I will tell you… the minute you question love, it simply isn’t there.
And yes, I know I don’t have the legacy of a half dozen broken relationships to dare to offer you advice. I know you've seen a mot more...but dear M, I know enough to tell you that sometimes, with many people, it’s the lack of communication that breaks up a relationship. But some other times, it's too much communication and too much in(tro)spection. The most beautiful things in life don't stand up under scrutiny. Remember how poems we loved lost their beauty when we 'analysed' it?
The minute you question love.....it simply isn't there.
P.S: If you ask me what I’d do, you know my answer. If the other person is questioning us, we have no future. It will die…if not today, then tomorrow, it will die. So, I'll walk out and never ever venture anywhere close that side, for as long as I live.
M, it isn't worth it. Get up and get going, please. I hate seeing you like this.

It all sounded very very ... true... very real. Somehow, what you said, it's true. The minute you question love, it simple isn't there.
But... dunno.... don't feel like believing it right now. Not just yet. I know if its true i'll believe it sooner or later. As of now, I am enjoying my fools paradise. I kinda like it here.
Conman, I agree..it's difficult to believe. often, i am struggling with having to believe it. other times, i am struggling BECAUSE i believe it. sometimes it hurts because i dont believe it and sometimes it hurts because i do. it's all in the wind and in the way it blows today, i guess.
did ANY of that make ANY sense??
