Femme Fatale

…if she’s meant to be yours, she will come back. If she doesn’t, then she wasn’t meant to be yours in the first place.

Then what about letting HIM go?

Will HE come back? Will HE realize everything SHE has done for HIM was to prevent HIM from getting hurt, from falling, from breaking into a million pieces?

Unlike the millions of movies we watch, where the heroin / hero are usually forgiven for all the wrongs they’ve done, be it whether they had an affair ke, cheated on their husband/wife/boyfriend/girlfriend/dog/fish ke, dumped the boyfriend/girlfriend for another guy/girl/freedom/whatever ke, they are always forgiven no matter what.

Or in the books we read where love CONQUERS ALL, I guess in reality, it really isn’t as easy as that.

Sometimes, people just make mistakes. That’s what life is all about anyways, isn’t it? It’s all about making mistakes. If people don’t make mistakes, people don’t learn. And if people don’t learn, there’ll be no improvement in character/attitude. And how else would we be able to make this world a better place if people don’t make mistakes so that they can learn from their mistakes?

Perhaps, it takes some people longer than normal to realize their mistakes. Perhaps to realize their mistakes, some people just make mistakes after mistakes after mistakes before they realize that hey, they’ve made three mistakes in a row! Or perhaps, sometimes people are just too blind to realize the mistakes they are making until they loose something. And by then, it would be too late.

And unfortunately for these people who learn too late, there is just no space for forgiveness in the hearts of other people these days. Because these other people have been hurt/rejected/humiliated by the mistakes made.

It’s really sad to think of two people who are madly in love with each other, but not doing anything about it because one made a mistake and the other is too proud to find space in his/her heart to forgive him/her. And therefore, they go on with life, knowing that each another is irreplaceable in each other’s hearts, but too proud to do anything about it. And when it comes to a day when one thinks back, was pride really all that worth it for it to stand in the way of love?

I even know of two brothers who have not been talking to each another since eons ago, and all because of ONE incident that caused them to drift apart. And why? Because one is too proud to apologise and the other, too proud to forgive.

So, we go back to where we started. The infamous saying that goes, "If you love him/her, let him/her go. If he/she is meant to be yours, he/she will come back. If he/she doesn’t, then he/she wasn’t meant to be yours in the first place"

BUT….if HE/SHE does come back….will you be able to accept HIM/HER and forgive HIM/HER for everything that HE/SHE has done?

Perhaps, if he/she does come back, and you’re not willing to accept him/her back, then I guess YOU were never meant for him/her….

Either that, or you’re just too proud….

Pride. Is it worth it?
