I have been trying to be strong and reminded myself that somehow it will be over without much effort on my own.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;color:#330033;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;color:#330033;"&gt;But I hope you know, I'll still be there.

Far beyond what anyone with the most sanity can handle. And even more when that loss is not least visualised. But of course, who can prophesize death's arrival?

Someone in her life who's supposed to pave their bright future together and share bliss even in the simplest forms. They can't do that anymore. Fate decreed that heartlessly.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;color:#330033;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;color:#330033;"&gt;My dearest friend.

Just let the pain sink into you. I know it's piercing. Please hang on there.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;color:#330033;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;color:#330033;"&gt;Just feel hurt until you no longer hurt anymore. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;color:#330033;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;color:#330033;"&gt;It may be infinity.

If so, I think you have quite succeeded. It's almost akin to die a thousand deaths but after every resurrection , I fail to fathom why I still allow hurt from you to persist.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;color:#330033;"&gt;Truth is, time and time again I have not come to terms with coping the fear of losing you. I have hence chosen to capitulate to my vulnerabilities. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;color:#330033;"&gt;I think I am afterall feeble despite portraying a solitary image and I need a lot of affection as well. Have you ever known?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;color:#330033;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;color:#330033;"&gt;Have you ever known that you disappoint me at times too? But I never question for once, for I have no rights to. Did that mean I do not have any expectations of you? I'd be lying if I said no. But still, I know I have no rights to. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;color:#330033;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;color:#330033;"&gt;I'm already disillusioned how enough is enough I need to have, for I breathe on how much you can only give me. And even though you don't give, I survive on my own devotion. And this seems to go on and on. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;color:#330033;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;color:#330033;"&gt;Now I wished the power I gave to you to hurt me can metamorphose into something you use to bring me out of my own familiar suffering I've been deeply attached to. But I clearly know I can only do this myself. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;color:#330033;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;color:#330033;"&gt;Perhaps you didn't hurt me afterall. It was just me who inflicted hurt on myself all along, and I don't know how to end this.

Went to some tailor shop in Ubi with SH but realised that they have temporarily ceased tailoring women's shirts. Helped SH with some selection of cloth designs for his shirts instead. Then he came over to my place for a while, downloaded videos for me and lent me Haruki Murakami's book to read. Sweet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Went for toning class this morning. Adjourned to Sushi Tei for my favourite sashimi salad. Light lunch but contented. Went for a hair wash and treatment thereafter. And I revised a little Korean via my useful little handbook.

I do not hope it's still self-denial but enlightenment of some sort.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#330033;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;color:#330033;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;color:#330033;"&gt;You know what's the worst feeling one can experience? Suppression. Why suppress then? Because I can no longer come to terms with the truth. Truth hurts, but perhaps it heals as well.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;color:#330033;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;color:#330033;"&gt;You know what's the worst regret one can have? Having to lose something before you even possess it. Would you regret, really? If so, would you pursue dauntlessly?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#330033;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;color:#330033;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;color:#330033;"&gt;When something is unknown, the more we want to hold on to it. But if we start to dismantle them into pieces, will you still be obstinate and learn to put your emotions into perspective instead?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#330033;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;color:#330033;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;color:#330033;"&gt;I suddenly realised what I thought was unconditional was just a facade. I'm not a saint afterall. If it had been unconditional, there'd be no expectations. I was in denial all the while and that saddens me alot. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#330033;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;color:#330033;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;color:#330033;"&gt;Now it really feels like I'm gonna lose a battle before I even prepare myself to step into the battlefield. It's a tough internal tussle but I know I just want to end it soon before I turn into someone I do not know anymore. Because I do not wish to hanker for something which probably won't belong to me afterall, no matter how much time has passed.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#330033;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;color:#330033;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;color:#330033;"&gt;So now I wish to choose the withdrawal option and the thought of it is scarring me so badly. But it's probably time, else the scars will leave me disfigured. It just takes courage and faith to believe that time will nurse everything. I need alot of time perhaps but I know I'll emerge again.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#330033;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;color:#330033;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;color:#330033;"&gt;I'll just relish. Looks like this is the answer. It will just make everything less interwoven, I hope.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#330033;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;color:#330033;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;color:#330033;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6450413779218845000-501566430226397091?l=xanntay.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6450413779218845000/posts/default/501566430226397091'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6450413779218845000/posts/default/501566430226397091'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://xanntay.blogspot.com/2010/11/just-relish.html' title='Just relish'/><author><name>Xann Tay</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00773255614136790654</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6450413779218845000.post-7772189806971396830</id><published>2010-10-31T08:31:00.002+08:00</published><updated>2010-10-31T09:20:48.930+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;color:#330033;"&gt;I totally abhor what I'm going through now. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;color:#330033;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;color:#330033;"&gt;The kind of intensified emotional roller-coaster that is slamming me up and down uncontrollably is setting my heart in deep vexation.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;color:#330033;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;color:#330033;"&gt;Why is the episode always the same?
