Have you ever been in love with something or someone so much that it hurt? In love so much that you started detesting it??
Think that applies to not only people but things you do as well. This other day wifey dear made fabulous Aloo ke Paranthey and before I realised I'd downed 6 parathas laden with ghee (just a clarification...my pleasantly plump appearance is NOT a result of such binges!!) the rest of the day was too put very mildly, uncomfortable. Don't know why but I seem to have this tendency to take to go overboard with my likes, whether it be favourite dishes or even work at times.
Coming back to the point; I happen to know someone who has spent the better part of life in love with this other person (who too I happen to know rather well!). Much like Liz Taylor and Richard Burton they too have been IN and OUT of love often. Strangely though all that pent up love seems to manifest itself in different forms in both these people. Whilst it's ignorance and silence for one, it is a very open and bitter topic for the other.
My take..why not cherish the times you've had together, accept reality and move ahead. It's the continuance, rather obstinately, of being in love that causes the hurt and anger. Easier said than done? Well, all I can say is that it does deserve an honest attempt. It's not gonna be easy but I am sure there always are positives that one can carry from soured relationships.
And in the end as usual here's the song (Courtesy:Queen) that sums it all up
Too much love will kill you
If you can't make up your mind
Torn between the lover
And the love you leave behind
You're headed for disaster
'cos you never read the signs
Too much love will kill you
Every time.....
..I used to bring you sunshine
Now all I ever do is bring you down
How would it be if you were standing in my shoes
Can't you see that it's impossible to choose
No there's no making sense of it
Every way I go I'm bound to lose
Too much love will kill you
Just as sure as none at all
It'll drain the power that's in you
Make you plead and scream and crawl
And the pain will make you crazy
You're the victim of your crime
Too much love will kill you
Every time
