can you imagine
can you imagine breaking off with your other half? no matter who initiates it?
you'll need to remove photos, from your wallet, your handphone, the net, your computer, your table, your whatever. from your memory, especially.
you'll have to change his pet name in your address book back to his name.
you'll not dare to read any past blog/diary entries in case you see something that may make you cry. and cry.
you may not be able to find someone else, who can tolerate your tantrums, your mood swings, your stupid habits, your wails and shrieks, your nonsense, your wilful personality, bascially.
when you meet old friends, you'll cring if they bring him up. maybe your heart will break. again.
and you don't know how to answer to mom when she asks about him.
you'll need to answer to everyone. (now you know why they say being in love is not just YOU and ME)
you hear songs that you used to listen to together and you just want to sob your eyes out. 'we used to sing this song together...', 'this was OUR song', 'this was his favourite song', etc.
you go to places you've been to, eat the food you used to share (basically he eats almost whatever you can't finish, and we just love that, don't we), watch movies on tv that you both watched in theatres and he shrouds your mind constantly.
you miss him whining and behaving like a 9-year-old, the boyish childish actions that make you go all soft-hearted rightaway.
you'll come out of the washroom and see the several boyfriends waiting for their girlfriends, then you'll daze for a while and wonder where's he, and snap! back to reality again. i mean, seriously, girlfriends, don't you ever feel proud and glad there IS someone waiting for you outside the bathroom, no matter how bloodybored he looks. =)
you will miss HIM, miss YOU and HIM being together, miss the places you used to frequent, miss his huge hands, those hands that used to hold you so tight, that goofy smile that always lifted up your spirits, the hugs that never failed to warm you up in the cinema, the escalators where you'd always go up a step so that you can reach his lips (and so that he can hug your fat waist), the security he still gave you although he's 120km/h on the road, the shoulders that you cried on, that chest you slept on (the best chest ever, no matter how much he wished for it to be bigger :), how you both would sing in the wind with the windows down, how he'd try to fend away all the mosquitoes for you (i don't know how), how he'd make you angry by saying 'last one last one ok, dear' whilst he's at the computer game/console/football.
everything. you can add to the list.
hindsight is always 20/20. please think twice, if you're ever thinking of a split, whoever out there. i hate break-ups. well, most of the time, some people deserve it. haha.
dear boyfriend, sometimes i wonder how you can stand me and my nonsense. you're rarer than a gem and i want you to know it.
