     Here goes nothing, this post is a time bomb for I am not sure when it will tick and blow out. Too many things happened, the emotional drainage and the deception.

It was bound to compile in one ultimate shaker and blow up, this may well be my very last post. At least regarding relationship, I know in time I will heal hopefully but for now I find myself having set a timer on a time bomb.

Tick tock, with every second we get closer to the pinnacle with every breath you take you feel how the air has become heavier, it drops down to your heart like a bullet. What to say? What to do? Where to go from here?

This is the end, you hold your breath and count to ten? No, this is the end, you hold your breath and take that step that you knew has long been awaited, when you have counted to a million, ten more or ten less won’t make any difference.

They say, when you are in love, really madly in love you know when your lover is dead, when they are happy or sad. Indeed, except sadly, you would also know when it went wrong, when something that shouldn't have happened actually happened.

You are intertwined, whether you wanted or not, any shred of doubt, of passion of deception you can feel it miles away.
Yes, you can talk, yes you can be reassured, but once doubt creeps in your heart, once you stray from the path it can never be undone. Just like Pandora’s Box, once opened all the evils in the world were unleashed and still haunt us to this very day.

Any shred of doubt, is an imminent indicator of a storm brewing on the horizon, you may well be protected and sheltered but you can never fully escape it. You may run for a day, a week or a year but it is bound to catch up to you.





They say, all that remained in Pandora’s Box was hope, but what hope? The hope that you can pretend that nothing happened and move on with your life, lying to yourself and to the others?
You may mend it, but a broken heart is much like broken glass, you may glue it back together but you will always see the crack. That fragile heart, with every beat it risks shattering that glass again and again.

Who can you blame? Either yourself or the one person you trusted. Because in the end you reap what you sow, a grain sowed in harsh soil and in betrayal, a barren land will never grow up to be more than a fragile shrub.
My personal conviction was and will ever remain, temptation is a bitch the easiest way and common sense would dictate to refrain ourselves. But when you play with fire someone is bound to get burnt, not necessarily you but someone very close. You entered the fire in your domain so you bear the consequences, why not avoid it from the start?

Circumstances change, people change that is just the way life is.  Same people, different timing and the outcome would have been way diverse. You cannot blame them, loneliness and desperation are traitorous mistresses. You will find yourself doing things and in situation you wouldn't envy yourself or anybody.

If you would have looked at this day a year ago, would you have foreseen this? Probably not, the future is a blur line forever fluctuating with every decision we make.

     Yet you are here now, and since you have always been put in such “just deal with it “situations, you find yourself dealing with it, any way you can.

You miss the love you loved the most, it is heart breaking to have to go but when the time is right your ship has to sail.

      Every fairy tale seemed to end with a happy ending, or at least that’s how I grew up watching movies and reading stories.

     The phrase: “and they lived happily ever after” lingered in our minds and all girls dreamed of their prince charming riding on a white steed and all boys imagined themselves slaying dragons and rescuing the fair maiden.

However, as I mentioned earlier these are mere childish stories… or are they?

   When saying farewell and letting go becomes inevitable, your story reaches an imminent end. Maybe it ended too fast or maybe the next big chapter is just unfolding.

   In no way am I telling anybody to lose hope, keep dreaming of your happy ending but for me a happy ending doesn’t have to involve someone.

   I’m sure some people like me do feel that their happy ever after could be with a prestigious career, retiring to a foreign country… it may or it may not involve a lover.

    We all had our shares of love: bitter and sweet love, I never gave hope and will never give up hope of finding that special someone. Meanwhile, you can make mistakes, have fun, try to work on every relation as if he or she is the one and hope for the best.

   The saddest part is when you do find your soul mate and it works out perfectly. Then a storm passes and you can’t seem to move pass it. The love you loved seems to start fading away slowly but surely. You stop caring so you wouldn’t get hurt and you always have to be one step ahead of the game.



    I gave up hope on mankind a long time ago, but never gave up hope on my humanity. Talk is cheap; they can easily lure you into a state of euphoria and bliss. You start creating that picture perfect world, and then out of the blue it all shatters into tiny pieces.

   Like a rug being pulled under your feet, you loose balance. Why? Every single fight or argument should push you towards fixing the problems in your relationship. However, an adverse effect can take place, it starts pulling you apart slowly.

   You wake up all of a sudden looking into a stranger, where did my love go? Who is this person next to me?

When to say goodbye?

             When to say goodbye? When to let go of everything? When to move towards the end? 

All these questions are all but one and the same, don’t we all deserve that “happy ever after” fairytale ending? 

            Yes we all do, but life is not all rainbows and unicorns, you have to work hard to earn that happy ending. On a separate note, happy ending doesn’t mean falling in love and getting married. To each his own ambitions in life and his or hers own happy ending. 

Throughout this post I’ll only be speaking by metaphors, because for each person the same picture can mean an entire different story.  So let your imagination roam free, and paint the image in your head and live the moment. 



SO when is it time to say goodbye?  

            I don’t think there is a right time to say it, you know you've  reached a crossroad but the strong love is pulling you back. On the desert road, the lonely merchant hears a soft whim: stay says the desert, let me enrobe you with my sandy dress and we can be together forever. You can come whenever you want but you can never leave. 

There is no longer a “U” in us? 

            You’ll always be in my heart, but sadly life goes on. You’re the river that’s flows within me, but the once flowing summer river is slowly drying up, even the eternal river of love can have a drought, and tears can no longer sustain the thirst of the dwelling beast within. 

            A warrior knows when to surrender and when to fight with vim; alone standing behind the castle walls, he awaits anxiously for the countdown of the last fight of his life.  The once vehement spirit is reduced to a mere childish state. He steps blindly but faithfully into the unknown. 

            You might wish for a time machine and think in your mind: if only I can repair that single mistake or bad choice.  Nevertheless, what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger and you will get through it: like the phoenix who raises from its ashes more powerful and flamboyant.  You would have learned a life’s lesson for the next chapter in your life.

Part 2 is for you to write, does it end or no? I will continue the story in next week’s post.
