Just realized something.. its about heartbreak..
The heart doesn't break in a snap. It doesn't fall and shatter on the ground; there is no cracking or ripping. A heart breaks like a flower wilts - quietly yet.. suddenly...
She keeps the flowers on her desk. Roses, mostly. She likes Roses. They are cheerful and intense; She loves that. Their soft petals tantalize her skin whenever she touches them, and their colors brighten up the room. But then if she gets too busy to pay them much of attention... if she forgets to water them for just one day, they start to look sad and gloomy. The intense red is still there but they start to run low on vibrance. She waters them . Some life comes back, the breathing becomes easier. Now she knows they'll last for another week or so. She hasn't hurt them enough yet.
But sometimes, its just too late. One day she comes into the room, and sees their necks down, even though their petals are still soft. Then no matter whatever she does, they will never look up again. They keep wilting slowly - dying. It doesn't matter how many times she waters them or give them plant nourishment, they are finished now. She can only wait for them to die out completely and disappear... only to become a memory for some time, and then forgotten.
This is how a heart breaks.

ReplyDeletesorry again :( :(
I generally have made somewhat of a habit of staying away from discussions like this; but here I feel I need to weigh-in with my tuppence-worth of opinion/experience.
ReplyDeleteNowadays, people have neither the time nor the energy to woo, pursue and finally wait hand-on-foot for the other party. Nor should they - no matter how bad the Hindi movie inspired expectations might be. It's "I love you, till I find someone better".
Heartbreak is nothing more than the ego-bruising we get when we realise that we have been replaced. Sometimes its because people just grow out of you like they do clothes; sometimes because circumstances have pushed you away.
I guess its easy to say move on; but closure is a hard thing to find. Its that simple
About the post: So true..
ReplyDeleteAbout the comment from thevedbrat: in this age of so many things (including people) being easily available, where people find their worth only in having a pre-defined set of things, yes that holds true about the ego.
If you get something instantly it will go away instantly too, but in this age where people are only looking for instant gratification you can't expect anything much. Just need to look out for those who are wiling to wait. Then again someone should be worth waiting for too :)
