La vie est Belle <>


Do you have someone like that?


Maybe you've been in love, maybe you like each other.
But why aren't you together?

Maybe it's due to peer pressure, that he didn't woo you.
Maybe it's due to family pressure, that both of you aren't together.



Maybe it's due to leaving for overseas study, that he didn't want you to wait for him.

Maybe it's due to the two of you meeting too early, that both of you didn't know how to cherish.

Maybe it's due to the two of you meeting too late, that there's already another half.

Maybe it's due to you turning back too late, that he isn't waiting anymore.

Maybe it's due to the two of you testing each other's heart, yet still unable to cross that line.



Even though the two of you aren't together, both of you are still friends.
But in your heart, you know that you are caring more than a friend should.

Although the two of you can officially hold hands while shopping, and can talk about anything under the sun.



If there's someone he likes, you'll say that you'll help him get her.
But in your heart, you're questioning if that's really what you wanna do.

If he meets with any problems, you'll do whatever it takes to help him, not caring about who owing who.

If the other half gets jealous, you'll say that the two of you are just friends.
Yet in your heart, there is a tinge of doubt.



There will be this special someone in everyone's life.
A very contradicting behaviour.

The two of you entered this friendship reluctantly in the beginning.
But as time passes, you realised that this is for the best.



You would rather care for him this way, than to risk having to break up one day.

You would rather be his friend, whereby you have no grounds to get jealous, and to be able to chat about everything under the sun.

And because of this, you will always know that, he will care for you forever.



Since the two of you can't be together, being each other's special someone, won't this arrangement be better?



Do you have this certain someone in your life?



A lot of relationships ended due to one sided love, which results in broken friendships.

You will feel that it isn't worth it.

A lot of friendships frozed, and even declined, because of the lack of response to the other party's "I like you".

And perhaps these are the reasons, why a lot of us won't step across the line.



Because this is a gamble.

By being frank, you either get together, or you lose the friendship.

There are a lot of things which you can't predict.
Maybe he doesn't mind, and the friendship still goes on.

But sometimes it may not be as good as before.
And wouldn't it be such a waste? And what regret that would be.



But perhaps, there is a third option?

That the two of you are friends for the rest of your life.
But reluctantly?



Came across this from my housemate's blog. It struck me, as I feel exactly the same way. And so I thought I'll share it with you darlings.

All about
: elise :

Jack (or is it Jane?) of all trades,
(almost!)

but Master of none.
(trying to!)

This is my paradise, where I indulge my senses grandiloquently.

A collective effort to keep family & friends updated, and for random strangers to pop by.

I wanted to put a HUGE picture of myself in this space, but being the technologically challenged person that I am, I can't figure out the mojo of it.

So I guess I'll just have to make do with scattering loads of random self-shots all over the blog!
