Loving and Moving on

In this life, most people long to have someone by his/her side. I myself is guilty of this.

Some say that to experience love is enough. At least, one has experienced loving rather than not. But then is it really enough? Do people really mean it when they say that it is better to love and be hurt than not loving at all. Remember loving someone does not all the time mean that the person will reciprocate that love.

To love is one thing, to be loved is another. When the person you love feels the same, it is called blessing. If this happens to me, I will call it, an answered prayer. But of course this is the best case scenario.

What if the person you love, loves someone else. Or if he/she tells you that "I love you as a friend or as a brother or sister". What about if you let go of the one you love who loves you as well because of pride or betrayal. In all of these cases, someone gets hurt. You get hurt. Life seems so difficult. The world seems so small because of your common friends who are constant reminders of what you had before, the memories in those places you used to spend time in, or activities that you love to do together, even the songs you usually hear and sing when you were together. How cruel the world can be?

Then what is the solution? Move on? Move on where? ...to the next person? hmmmm....or can it be to the next level? How fast can one move on? Is it a reality? When you say you moved on, does it mean that you don't love the person anymore? What if you are still angry with the person or too shy to talk to him/her just like before? Are those indicators that you have moved on? If you are not angry with the person anymore but you don't want to see him/ her yet, is it moving on? When you try to engage with someone else and show him/her off to your common friends, is it moving on? What about going out with the one you love like you used to, can you call it moving on? Revitalizing the friendship between two people after a confusing romantic relation, can it be moving on? Doing more things and making yourself busier than before, is it moving on? Going out with someone else to fill the emptiness, is it still moving on? Hmmmmm... I don't know...Is playing dumb a way of moving on?
