At Times....In Life

At times……………..In Life

< Dedicated to every broken heart >

At times, in life, distance is damn necessary. I’ll tell you why.

College. You see a girl: love at the very first sight. You can do nothing about it. You find her on Facebook, and send her a friend request. Things get a little tougher when the girl whom you’ve a crush on doesn’t use Facebook that often. You see couples around you, and badly dream of being among them. You reach to her friends, and make them your friends. You make several attempts to talk to her, but you fail. And after a successful one, you have your first conversation with her
when there is certainly exchange of names; rarely phone numbers. Everyday you make a ‘casual’ hi and bid a ‘stay safe’ bye, and have a little chit-chat in the middle-during breaks and lunch time. You smile like an idiot every single time you think about or see her. Your verbal chats do increase, and glances get exchanged. But, ultimately you end up discovering that she’s got a boyfriend. “Oh! What a sad story”, one would say.

I reckon few of us perhaps have had similar experience. Things are little different for girls’ cases. Mostly, even if girls fall for boys, they pretend that they don’t. Anyway, let’s continue with the poor boys. Is it that difficult? I mean, why the hell does it happen that your crush has a boyfriend? Why on earth are all good, intelligent and beautiful girls already taken? After you find out that she’s got a boyfriend, you regret for nothing like hell. There’s nothing to regret about, but you still do. You listen to ‘broken-hearted’ songs. However, you can’t keep yourself from staring at her and talking to her. You do have conversations, but with a fake smile and a broken heart. You wish that you were the one whom she’d love back. Your friends, on the other side of the story, tease you and make a fool out of you for you run behind someone who’s never going to be yours-not in this life. You seem like a fool, idiot, dumb, dull, insane, crazy lover…bla bla bla.

And only then you make up your mind that these all are full of shit. You don’t talk to her for weeks-even months after which you finally decide to talk very less for the sake of friendship. After a long long time, you go talk to her with a brighter smile, and get used to having less conversations exactly like back in the time when you used to make a ‘casual’ hi and bid a ‘stay safe’ bye. But the little chit-chats in the middle get missing.

That’s how it works like a cycle-yeah! a cycle you never want to go through again. You don’t want to run in circles again. You smile, hang out with friends; you show that you’re happy even without her in your life. But whether you’re or you’re not, the only person to know the truth is you yourself-nobody else. You make a certain emotional distance afterwards, and try your best not to fall for any other girl. Yes, the distance you make with the emotional world in such situations is going to help you. Let the girl fall for you instead. Wait for the right time when a right person will step into your life-be it even years from now for you’ll be in true love with your someone special for the rest of your life, and you’ll be singing MLTR’s

She came to me like an angel-when everything was torn apart

Erasing all the madness-she came and blessed a broken heart

Best wishes! < for the crush’s life >
