Lovers and Friends

There comes a time in life when a person let others know how he feels which he has kept to himself or herself. And in doing so would set that person free and feel the heart lighter. What happened was a matter of speaking from experience as Jon says in his blog.

Graduating from high school, this boy went to study at the univesity where he met other students who had the same dream. The dream of getting a good education and a better life and give only the best to himself and his parents. At the same, get to know others who are worth his time and effort. He did got just that- he became good friends three girls and nothing's wrong with that. (ala "Three's Company", Yabang no). With their youthful innocence, they became close, on and off the campus and found out that they were drawn to each other. They like each others company. After the second year, the two girls went their own ways. The boy and the third girl went on to enroll at the same course, all the while remaining very good friends.

On the third year, their friendship got stronger. They helped each other out in their studies and with their personal lives. He would go her house, after school, and just hang out, share jokes and stories just about anything. He was happy with their relation until one day he went to her house and she introduce a guy who is her BOYFRIEND. But, he wanted to remain good friends with her and didn't say a thing and acted as if there's no boyfriend. Later on, he realized he was FALLING in love with her, but, he never let her know that. He was just happy to be a good friend, but, as days went on the girl was getting more in love with her boyfriend that she neglected her real friend which she didn't realized then.

The boy finally saw what was happening that there was nothing going to happen good in their relationship. He disppeared from her life- no goodbyes, no explanations and without her knowing his true feeling. Later, he realized that she wasn't his worth his time, his effort, his friendship or even his love. If it can be called love. What do you think if you were this guy? Is he a fool? Or is she a fool? Is he right in not telling her his feeling? He never saw her and that doesn't matter now. The last that I learn from him, he's a very happy man. He has learned to moved on many, many years ago.

hmmm...this kind of takes me back to my highschool years. Remeber I was dating VU NGUYEN? Well Vu and I would hang out after school at Edwin's house. That's how I met Edwin, through him. Anyway, after a while Edwin and I became really close friends, until I broke up with Vu and eventually ended up with Edwin. Vu was totally okay with it. He liked me enough to see me happy than to hold on to something that will never be. I do wonder sometimes how my life would have turned out if I had stayed with Vu. I guess I'll never know. But like they say, it's better to have love and lost than never love at all.

life's full of many ifs and it's only later that one think of it. i'd made decisions that i regretted and some that i could i made the right decision. i guess all of these are because of inexperience. and experiences teach us to learn and move on. like you did and i admire you for that.

young love is always a wonderful thing if only we don't get blinded by it. if you stayed with Vu, you wouldn't have met Billy who think is a wonderful guy. i can't say it's your fate, cause we all have free will to change our lives. the only thing is we don't know what's going to happen to us. it's their fault that they lost out on being loved by you cause deep inside you are very loving. it's better to have love and lost than never to have love at all, BUT, you must really know first him very well before loving him deeply, so that you won't get hurt. some say they were just lucky, i say, it's a more of having an open mind to know who we are falling in love with. and pray that all will work out well until the end. till then, we really need to ask ourselves:"what if?"
