pretentions...


who was i kidding?

pretending i was over my past..

pretending we could be "just friends"..

pretending i was cool with the way we talked..like strangers..

pretending i was soooo over him..

pretending he couldn't break my heart with just one sentence anymore or with one "c ya" in the
middle of a conversation

pretending that reading the mail i had saved in my drafts to be sent as his b'day gift ages ago..when i was still his doll..wouldn't bring tears to my eyes

pretending that sending it to him would elicit anything but a "yeah got your mail..didn't read it properly..aur bta kya chal raha h?"

pretending i am happy and loved and satisfied..when i can't even bring myself to like me..

pretending i have no regrets..that i am happy with my memories..when i curse the very moment i decided to talk to my best friend's friend, who had fallen in love with my dolphin...

pretending and pretending...lying to all and to myself..."everything is great in my life..yoo!! i am mast hoohaaa!! the queen bee".. when each day all i do is give an overdose of sleeping pills to the bloody bashed up mess i call "my heart" to dull its senses..
or just add a few more balls of cotton to my deaf ears...to stop myself from hearing its painful moaning..

the tears are not yet dry
the pain is not going to die
the memories still kill
and my world with lies fill
you try so hard to make me hate u
but i know in my heart i'll always love u as i live my life through...

Y r u even around this guy!
Tym to bak off & move on, sweetie.
Some thingz in lyf arent meant to be, and this is one of them.
The more u try to prolong this so called friendship the more it will b chipping away from ur share of happYness. The more u c of him, the more u want him. It's a never ending madness, this luv.
This myt seem too harsh a comment, but then lyf wasn't alwez a bed of roses, was it?

if you know this all, it is not pretending, right? And it is the first step on the way out of it. I mean someone who has the powers to recognize the way they feel, to admit this, have also powers to get over it, though it will take hell lot of time and emotions :)

PS: i blogrolled you, just thought of letting you know :)

umangexuberance said...

@vvk hmmm..why am i around this guy..well i don't know..may be because i want to face it and not run away and let him laugh at me and mock me for the rest of my life..

and i did try to run away turns out it made it worse and trust me facing him and seeing this side of him is really doing wonders n getting over him :)
and no it wasn't too harsh a comment i liked your honesty..
and who are u?
do i know u?

umangexuberance said...

@leena yes i agree and i am working on it though as you said it is hard but then..i have realized that just 'coz something didn't work out the way i wanted it to doesn't mean its the end of the universe..i am finding new and better reasons to smile and seems like i just had to open my eyes to see them..they were all really there in my life waiting to be felt..the warmth waiting to be called upon
thanks and tc :)

Rendezvous said...

love is something that can't be forgotten.. it's like that scar which will leave it's mark.. good or bad, i m trying to figure this out.. each yr i love, i get hurt, and i lv again... i lv my friends, i love my LOVE, and still i m in search of the so called TRUE LOVE...

its funny, bt it's true... m sure, u'll soon live your love happily...

god bless...

So many to advise
So many so concerned
I wonder sometimes
Does the heart
Beats the way it ought to
and Love the way we want it to?
