oceans apart, day after day..

when a couple is going to be tore apart, be it by distance or other factors, like when one party is going abroad to study, or migrating..they have to make a decision..whether to continue holding on to the love, or giving it up.. perhaps one can deem it as selfish to ask the other party to wait for you.. how much sacrifices one has to make to hold on to something as intangible as a lover miles away..you cant touch, you cant feel...who is going to be there when you're down or depressed? who is going to keep you company during lonely nights?

yeah..so you might think it's selfish to ask your partner to wait for you. perhaps it's a much wiser..and selfless decision to just let him go..to grant him the total freedom to do whatever he likes..to have fun without any pangs of guilt, to let him grab hold of whatever happiness that might wriggle its way to his heart...

how heroic, how noble.

but sometimes while you think you're doing the right thing for both of you..you forget to ask what the other party wants. perhaps all she really wants is to hear you say,"wait for me..i'll come back to you one day."

i used to wonder how anyone can like a person for years. you mean years have passed and you havent met anyone who can replace him in your heart? you still love him just as much even though you barely see or talk to him? amazing. but i do believe now..i believe that love can go a long, long way...oceans apart, years apart...as long as you're sure...
