Disclaimer : Pure fiction!!
"I hate evenings alone. I hate the way my mind works when you're not around. In all these years, one would think I've reached that stage in a relationship that's not just comfortable and secure but beyond doubt and above suspicion. But, I guess not. I get restless. Old fears, unreasonable and unrelenting, play havoc with my mind.
Every assurance, every word of love forgotten...in the minutes that tick away...
It takes one moment of weakness to break someone. To break every ounce of faith. To make me the insecure person that I've become.
One fine day. One wretched phone bill and we were left shattered.
We?
No, I guess not. Not you. I was left shattered.
I meant nothing the days you walked into her house. I meant nothing when you lay down with her. I meant nothing when you slept with her.
Yet, here I am. 1 year since...
Why?
Of all the men I've been with, you knew me best. Of all the relationships I was in, I gave myself completely to this. And if my idea of perfection can be an illusion...
Why do I need any other man to prove me wrong? No one can.
They can touch me. They can't touch my soul. They can make me long. They can't make me stay. They can capture moments in my life. They cannot replace you.
And you?
I gave you a choice. You chose me. You chose to walk beside me.
I gave you a second chance? No, I gave us a second chance.
Oh! I hear the doorbell. It's pouring outside. You stand at the door drenched. Your familiar smile.
Every shred of doubt fades. You're home..."

Nice thoughts,Twilight..yes,I feel that way,too,i.e.'it takes one moment of weakness to break someone'..and,hours,to mend things once they break..OR,as this one ended-the doubts evaporate,when the loved one is standing at the door.:)Cheers.

keshi - let bygones be bygones I guess. It's what lies ahead that matters now :)
sweetsticky - My guess is most of the girls who get here will identify with this post or part of it atleast :) ... 'love is foolish' :)... I think not but it does make us utterly helpless at times *sigh*! Thanks @ wonderfully written :)
aakash - are you? What's your story? :)
forgive - makes me wonder though...IF that's a sign of strength OR weakness?
Pure fiction, that's what I said :)
s.h.a.s.h.i - thanks for dropping by and yes once I'm done with replying here, will check the link :) for sure! coincidence u say? Now I'm curious :P
amitl - love is strange in my opinion. Brings out the best and worst in us. Such extreme emotions! But nothing is as reassuring as knowing love is there to stay... :)
firewhisky - :) .. I know that feeling of "what if?"! I get it ever so often too. But I'm happy your present is what makes you happiest. Stay that way *touchwood* :)

southpaw - thanks for dropping by ;) and I have to agree with you @ ppl relating to the post. I can see proof of that in the comments :)
pri - thank u for visiting appreciating the effort! :)
Sometimes its strength, at othertimes weakness. All depends on the intensity of emotion.
But trust me, to forgive at times requires strength of the magnitude that totally saps you.
As for the question, yes I am.
aakash - true :)
