What if you get to know someone that you think you like? However, as you're shy, you don't dare to approach the person. Slowly, your feelings grow, but it seems only one-sided, and you get all sad over it...like unrequited, but uncertain. However, you always imagine the day of a final face-to-face "showdown" or the outcome, always asking yourself "what if?".
Then one wonders...let's say your feelings grow & grow so it's like so "big" and you begin to focus on the feelings. But then 1 day, the person you like does asks you out. Will you feel happy? Will you feel sad, because you're uncertain of the outcome? Or would you have become so accustomed to feeling sad & having no return in feelings that this sudden reciprocation actually kills the feelings as you don't know how to react (sounds masochistic?)?
Don't you ponder, did you really like the person or you liked the romantic notion of this uncertainty and unrequited love?
Ain't it so with those sad love stories...one always find the "sob story" part romantic melancholically.

A friend actually came to ask me "so who's the man?" when he read his entry.
ReplyDeleteWell, how should I have replied him? I said that I was in a brooding mood when I penned this...which was quite true really.
Or maybe I could have answered that it was someone that I used to like some years ago. Rest assured that I no longer feel 'that' way for that person (hey! he's happily married to my good friend). Anyway, that wasn't really what I was thinking when I wrote this.
But I guess it's the way I am. Reflecting here the silly problem of shyness and thus some questions.
Hmm...so, do you think there's someone now I'm talking about? Haha...
Did I mention I wrote a new song?
