“Truth is…Inever got over you. Truth is… wish I was standing in her shoes. Truth is…andwhen it’s all said and done. Guess I’m still in love with you.” This is an excerptfrom the chorus of America Idol’s third winner Fantasia Barrino’s song “TruthIs.”
Have you everhappened to come across someone with whom you’ve had a previous relationshipwith? It may have ended on bad terms, but the feelings are still there.
Sighing, youacknowledge the fact that you miss this person. You’ve missed him or her sincethe day you said “goodbye.” For so long you’ve yearned to see their face andsmile filled with luminosity. You miss the way he or she talked, walked andtouched you like none other.
Remembering themany times your bodies entwined, making rhythm and rhymes from the bodylinguistics brings chills to your spine.
Wanting to goback and relive those times again, you build up enough courage to call them.After reminiscing on old times you suggest, “We should go out sometime.” Yourex, hesitant to answer, solemnly announces, “I am in a relationship.” Shiftingyour weight and straightening your posture to an upright position, you saysadly, “I’m happy for you.”
Inaudibly, tearsbegin falling from the sides of your eyes. You cry not necessarily because yourex is in a relationship, but you cry because you let him or her go to beginwith.
In remorse, mostof us have desired to have that one distinctive person back in our lives. Somepeople realize from the get-go that they have made a mistake, but don’tconfront the other person until it’s too late. Our pride doesn’t allow us toadmit to things right off the back.
Pride shieldsour true feelings, covering our heart so that it cannot be broken. Anger,heartache and animosity blinds the love.
For a moment youforget that love was there, allowing negative emotions to take toll.
When you reallylove someone and you’ve let him or her go, you should run right back and letthem know. Let them know how you really feel right then and there and if theystill decide to leave, at least you made it aware that you care.
Truth is younever fully get over someone you really love. Once you finally think that youhave, recollections or encounters will bring you back to the reality of thematter. The person may be gone physically, but emotionally the love andmemories can last as long as an eternity.
