When Love & Life Collide

...
I'm taken back to the days when a relationship meant so much more than just a practical endeavor. When friendship and love were not just an enjoyable experience, but a way of life. When crazy things were done to impress counterpart. When the guys would take trip to unknown places and not look at the sights, spending all their time instead smsing and calling their current "love interests". When every breakup meant a sad evening with the whole gang and every new relationship forged meant the same thing, just that it was paid for. When nights were spent watching movies, listening to songs and then thinking how movie scenes reminded of the good times together.

..

I really don't know where those days have gone or why we have chosen to be so "adult" about this. Why everyone have to put up the brave face while really being torn apart inside by the pain of the split-up. Why all the smiles are forced when what you really want to do is call and say "i miss you". During the day why we slog to forget the past when each night is spent tossing, turning and crying about it. Why everyone is so quiet lately, listening to old songs, going back to the old haunts (at least when we sleep), just thinking of the good times and wishing that time would rewind, if only for a few hours.

..

Don't grow up so much that you forget who you really are and what you really want. Don't confuse goals with dreams and practicality with love. For once in your life make the decision that you want, not the one that is required.

..

Don't give up so soon guys.....and don't lose that one thing that matters...
