It Won't Be That Easy

Flattery words, check.
Writings composed in such a manner of an outstanding English Lit student, check.
Sugary texts in the morning, check.
Syrupy texts before bedtime, check.
Adequate speed limit in replying texts, check.
A glimpse of each other's activities on a daily basis, check.
Phone calls, check.
Surprise phone calls, check.
A promise to lay in each other's arms, check
Leaving kisses in texts, check.

But it won't be that easy this time, for they all began exactly like this. I'm sorry, darling, but you have to work much harder.

this reminds me of john mayer's song "something's missing".

and you deserve them all :) and more!! i feel the same way, it has to be a give and take.

I'd rather not be given kisses in texts if I knew it would all lead to the word goodbye.

We deserve all the finest things in life for being such good girls, Lo. (*Just been listening to Shakira's "Underneath Your Clothes":D)

But then again, the heart finally learned the most important thing our mothers never told us: when love dies, we have a grave to visit everyday.

It's not hard to let go of the person. No, it's not at all. What makes it really hard is to let go of the dreams we have built with that person.

Dreams are the most fragile part of a human being.

Alanis Morissette - Simple Together

You've been my golden best friend
Now with post-demise at hand
I can't go to you for consolation
Cause we're off limits during this transition
This grief overwhelms me
It burns in my stomach
And I can't stop bumping into things
I thought we'd be simple together
I thought we'd be happy together
Thought we'd be limitless together
I thought we'd be precious together
But I was sadly mistaken
You've been my soulmate and then some
I remembered you the moment I met you
With you I knew god's face was handsome
With you I saw fun and expansion
This loss is numbing me
It pierces my chest
And I can't stop dropping everything
I thought we'd be sexy together
Thought we'd be evolving together
I thought we'd have children together
I thought we'd be family together
But I was sadly mistaken
If I had a bill for all the philosophies I shared
If I had a penny for all the possibilities I presented
If I had a dime for every hand thrown up in the air
My wealth would render this no less severe
I thought we'd be genius together
I thought we'd be healing together
I thought we'd be growing together
Thought we'd be adventurous togheter
But I was sadly mistaken
Thought we'd be exploring together
Thought we'd be inspired together
I thought we'd be flying together
Thought we'd be on fire together
But I was sadly mistaken

Ah Siaw Yin, this Simple Together never fails to make my heart take a great leap to my throat! It's indeed a witty recap of everyone's breakups. How true! How divine! How articulately written!

I especially relate do the part: 'with you I knew God's face was handsome'. I once literally found myself gasping for air being the first to kiss certain someone's hair in the morning while he was still sleeping. He was so beautiful that I felt God was really in love with me when creating him.

What deadly lyrics the song has!
